I'm just curious as to what physicists, or more accurately "people with physics degrees," do? Mostly physicists research/teach in colleges/universities, but what do those do that do not research/teach? I would be interested to know careers and jobs physics majors here have pursued, and their satisfaction with the degree and the careers and jobs it led them to (ie: computer science, finance, something totally irrelated, etc.). Also, how good/bad is the employment outlook (mostly, I've heard bad things about it)... Thanks for any insight
