Why would you waste all that money in college not knowing this information? Physics may be interesting but if you don't know what to do with your degree, then it is just a waste. Talk to the school counselor and they may have suggestions or even a list.

An engineer, a physicist, a teacher, an accountant (with a bit of training), an academic, a computer programmer, management. My opinion is that education is for its own sake (possibly medicine, law and engineering excepted) rather than vocational training. A degree may open more doors but if you are capable of getting a degree there will be a large number of jobs already open to you. I have a physics degree but have worked as a store porter, farm labourer, market research interviewer, research scientist, teacher and tutor, which I now am.

I took a degree in Electronic Physics and after graduating was offered several jobs in Programming and Electronics Design in several multinational companies. Everyone in my year was offered jobs quickly and there is still great demand for these skills.
I'm now employing people myself and these skills are a great recommendation, not least because less people take such degrees. However, in addition to the subject of the degree, level of qualification is important (3rd is almost worse than no degree, 2.2 or above good for most jobs) and some are choosy about which University you go to. Good A-level results/subjects are still useful even after the degree.
The important question to ask yourself is whether you want a career in these areas and whether you will find this sort of degree interesting.

Which degree - Bachelor's? Then the McDonalds answer may be the correct one. If you seriously want to use this type of degree, you'll undoubtedly need to go to graduate school and earn a degree that means something (a BS or BA is so common these days that it means nothing). Surely your college has some type of a "Career Services" office which can help you investigate any careers available to you with your degree, or which graduate school can best help you to go into your chosen field.

The world is your oyster!
I work in the oil industry. You can have your choice of graduate posts here.
High tech manufacturing is another good posting. For example the motor industry, aviation or weapons (aka the Defence Industry).
Civil engineering is another possibility. Would you consider a post graduate course in architecture for example?
And of course there are the usual positions that are open to all graduates such as banking, teaching and other post-graduate courses.
Good choice of degree. Go for it.

McDonalds are always hiring :o)
Seriously though, you should talk to people in the universities that run these degrees - they should be able to give you a good indication.
