Surely you can get a good IT job even if you have majored in Physics. The only thing is that you should be very comfortable handling ( or mishandling ) the IT equipment. You should have great love for this kind of work. Do not think of it as simply a means to make good money. Your interest in IT would itself be a great reward. I have a Post Graduate Degree in Political Science yet I worked a a Senior Engineering Technician with Intel Corp for four and a half year. I still work in the IT Field.

Of course it is. A college degree- for the most part- means you can learn. You can learn how to work at a job, pick up job skills, etc. Especially if you've taken electronics courses. You should also try to get some work/internship experience in that field before looking for a permanent job. Experience trumps your degree anyday.

That's right. I've got a friend who is a Doctor in Physics who somehow ended as our company's IT Internal Auditor. He has a strong passion in IT especially in the field of quality assurance. I don't know how was he able to relate his major with this career. IT auditors are paid a lot this days. Goodluck

with your background in theory and mathematics, you'll have no problem getting into the Networking field at all. As a matter of fact, it will seem quite easy to you.
You will still need to obtain Certifications specific to the specific field you want to get into. Just like medicine, I.T. is very specialized nowadays.
But again, with the level of mathematics you had to endure, anything in I.T. will seem easy by comparision, so just do a little research on what specific field you want to get into, get your certifications and you will be good to go.

S it is possible. IT industries look only for your skills and aptitude.
They dont want you to be an adept in your acamedics. More over there are many companies like Flextronics who are mainly looking for students with physics as major.
ALL THE BEST

It sucks. Everything you learn is obsolete later.
