career and oppurtunities of physicist?

Question

The career and opportunities of physicist.. give me 5 examples

Answer 1

There is a lot you could do with a physics degree.

If you want a career in physics itself you need, then you need at least a masters. However, that will not get you very far. Physics is about the fundamental study of natural phenomenon. Thus, a PhD is highly required, since it demonstrates you can solve original problems. Some of the jobs you can do in physics are

1) high school or college instructor
2) experimental or theoretical researcher (from there you
study a particular branch/subfield such as chemistry,
nuclear, condesned matter, astro, etc....)

If you want to do applied physics, then you can get by with a BS/BA or Masters, but you might want another degree to go with that. Some possible jobs are

1) Engineering (mechanical, nuclear (this is a good one),
chemistry.... you get the idea)
2) Medical/Health Physics (this a very good career
path...actually more related to nuclear engineering at least
health physics is)
3) Other physical sciences.

If you want to do jobs not related to physics, but have the mathematical background to do.

1) Data Analyst
2) Computer Programming
3) Accounting
4) Actuary
5) Other jobs that require strong analytical skills

There are other jobs you could do... just depends what over skills you have. As long as you have the skills or experience to the non related physics field you should be able to enter it with a physics degree.

A physics degree demonstrates you have the ability to solve problems and to learn.




If y

Answer 2

1. Work as a theoretical physicist and write popular books on why string theory is better than religion
2. Work as a particle accelerator beam physicist and be on the team building super colossal underground projects
3. Work as a fusion power physicist and save the world
4. Work as a DARPA physicist developing new weapons of mass destruction
5. Work as an astrophysicist and explain how all civilization is made up of leftover space detritus.

BONUS 6. Solve global warming

Answer 3

High school science teacher
College physics professor
Engineer -- requires you to take the enigeering license exam for the state you are in
Meteorologic research -- especially tornado, hurricaine, and lightening research
Chemical research -- there's a lot of overlap between physics and chemistry

You need a minimum of a PhD to be considered a physicist but most have post-docs.

Answer 4

its not really great, only if u win the nobel prize
