I will soon be beginning my studies towards a Physics Masters Degree and if I wish to continue a PhD. I am curious as to what kind of work I could hope to find. If research, what kind of "employer" seeks a physics researcher? I know teaching is an option but I am most curious about the research aspect of it. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you!

It all depends on your speciality. As a grad student you are going to be focusing intensily in one area of physics and that is where you are going to find you employment oppertunitys. Wether it be electrodynamics, plasmas, lasers, or astrophysics your employment oppertunitys are going to be pretty varied. Once you get your thesis going you are going to be basically picking your career life.
As you are pursuing a masters degree which is mostly thought of as the "buisness world degree" you are going to have to make some important decisions. Generally masters students are specializing in order to get out into the workforce whereas doctoral students are preparing themselves for their work as a future professer and to make money as consultants and by fellowships in professional labs.

Fabrication of nanoparticles of desired shape and physical properties is the task of great importance for modern electronics, sensorics, fabrication of nanodevices, nanomotors, optoelectronics, catalysis, etc
Various researches are going on nanostructure physics all over the world. The current hot research topics are:
Carbon nanomaterials
Carbon nanotubes, nanodiamond and nanoporous carbons
Nanostructures on Semiconductor Surfaces
Lithography, thin film deposition, ion beam processing (sputtering, irradiation, implantation etc)
Nanostructure Polymers
Bio nano Polymers,

the main person-friendly question you want to respond on your self is "do you want to be a salesman?" A sales engineer is a salesman that sells technical products so having an engineering degree, on the comparable time as being of questionable necessity factors credibility. Your profession direction downstream of the two a style of jobs will dictate it is extra helpful effective financially. you're actually not to any extent further going to make large money at the two place yet contained interior the positions you're taking after them. the version is the path that they initiate you on. The sales direction is with the aid of sales and merchandising and merchandising. The engineering direction is technical. the two would be priceless yet they are in protecting with distinctive ability contraptions. Take a protracted-term attitude in this option.

You can always get a job in finance and get a job as a "quant". It probably starts out at $125K-$150K/year (you need a PhD). To do this, make sure your programming and applied math skills are good. Also, try and take some finance classes if your school has a business school. Senior quants can make $500K/year

Semiconductor and other types of high tech manufacturing need such people. People working on fusion reactors probably have physics degrees.
