(I haven't actually got a degree yet, I'm just wondering if it's a risk doing the degree, in case I can't get a job)
What are some jobs I could get into with a B.Sc in Physics?
Where could I work?
I'm really interested in finding out how we got here and why the universe is why it is.

Once there, he/she chooses a narrow area to specialize in, such as theoretical aspects of a particular field.
 

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
