Which job can i take if i study physics

AI Thread Summary
Studying engineering can be approached through different educational paths, such as foundation engineering courses or A Levels in physics. The choice often depends on the specific engineering field one aims to enter. A Levels in physics can open doors to various careers beyond engineering, including roles in the nuclear industry and medical physics, which require advanced degrees and specialized training. Jobs in medical physics involve working with imaging technologies like MRIs and CT scans, while engineering offers a broad range of opportunities, including hands-on roles in equipment maintenance and management. Ultimately, the decision between foundation courses and A Levels hinges on individual career aspirations and the specific engineering discipline of interest.

some ppl study foundation of engineering after gcse if they want to beome engineer.but some choose to take A Levels and study physics.why do they still want to study alevels if they want to become engineer?why don't they straight away take foundation of engineering?arent these two the same thing?is there ay job that can't be apply by foundation of engineering students but can be applied be alevels physics student?are there any other jobs can be taken if we study physics in alevels besides engineering?

As far as I can tell both approaches are viable depending into which area you wish to go, there is no difference, it just depends on what you are looking for.

I'm not an authority, but many physics degrees can lead into the Nuclear industry, this is currently much of the jobs I see if you are only looking to go as far as the degree like me. I also work in a medical physics department, so clinical scientist is another job that may well appeal, this involves doing a masters then getting an accreditation and involves all sorts of physics such as MRIs, CT Scans, x-rays, PET-CT, mammograms, 4-D ultrasounds and other procedures, the last experimental work I saw involved a PhD student doing research into ultrasound and bone Imaging to reveal osteoporosis.

Also you can go into the engineering side with a degree or sometimes just A-levels or a HND, and work on x-ray machines,MRIs etc and a more technical than scientific approach. Engineering is an incredibly broad field, you may want to consider pinning down what side of engineering your looking into before asking about what jobs are out there, there are hundreds, I can only speak from my point of view and people who have studied engineering are always welcome where I work in more hands on areas and sometimes in device recall and management in cases of adverse incidents involving electronic devices or as I said in fixing and maintaining equpiment.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
