Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the types of physicists that are most sought after and command higher salaries globally. Participants explore various fields within physics, particularly in relation to the interests of a future graduate student in Applied Physics.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that medical physicists are the highest paid and most sought after in the field.
  • Another participant questions whether engineers should be included in the discussion about sought-after physicists.
  • A subsequent reply asserts that engineers do not count in this context.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on which type of physicist is most sought after or paid, and the inclusion of engineers in this discussion remains contested.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the criteria for determining which physicists are considered "most sought" or "most paid," nor does it address potential regional differences in demand and salary.

Hey guys!
I am a future graduate student (October 2010) in Applied Physics. I am planning to continue with my Masters Program next year and I have to choose a program by the end of July.
My problem is now how does one choose a masters program?
To answer this question i tried first to investigate on which type of physicists are most sought and more payed all around the world? can someone help me please?
I would add that I am interested in anything related to material science (actually i am in the option of material science) electronics and computation. But I am okay with other stuff if i can be conviced.
Please help me!
