Great video, it matches my experience. My career path has been: BS physics -> MS applied physics -> materials science at a national lab -> dropped out of an applied physics PhD -> finance (first as an accountant then as an actuary).
Amazing video! I knew Physics was a flexible choice, but your vídeo really really helped me to broad my understanding of all the career prospects that come with it, and now I'm pretty much 100% sure I'm gonna do a Physics degree. Thanks, I wish you lots of success :)
Ive seen some physics jobs increasing, though. But this wont likely surprise all physics majors, since theyve all seen increasing investments in Nuclear engineering(for fission AND fusion) and Theoretical nuclear physics, as well as the related astrophyiscs jobs that Spacex, Blue Origin, etc, would need. A physics graduate frim my first school got a job as a Quant, which seems to be the case for many Math, Physics, or Dtatistics majors. They naturally would also want Computer Science grads for quants. Finally, it does seem as though the UK usually or ALWAYS requires a masters before entering the OHD? As you know, this is the case for a few schools in the US, but not the majority, since most will let you begin with a Bachelors.
You bring up some excellent points! The growth in physics-related jobs, especially in fields like nuclear engineering and astrophysics, is really exciting.
Someone help me here if i did a physics degree and went into engineering why not just do an engineering degree? Also what are the pay rates in the uk for any purely physic related jobs I.e. researcher or astronomer
If you know right from the very start of your university journey that you want to go into engineering then you should probably do an engineering degree. A physics degree may offer more flexibility with what industries you can end up in though and can also lead to engineering
@@LewisMCooper the thing is I want to do physics this year sep but I feel like the jobs will pay less/low for a pure physics job and I don’t even know if there are any in the uk so my best bet would be to do engineering. Another problem is that there isn’t enough help online for people who have considered it this year in general and want to ensure they will have a secure path

Brilliant video ! This really change my perspective (positively) abt getting a degree in physics 😀
Thank you! Best of luck with going for the degree!!

I’m glad you found some insight from the video! Good luck with your physics degree
Gracias ❤

@Ntando_Bangani thank you.
What about materal engineering?
Definitely reasonable to assume that you could get into that industry but a masters may help on the way
Do you have any advice for someone who’s going into astrophysics but finds some of the higher level concepts and math a bit intimidating?
Absolutely! Break down complex concepts into smaller parts, and remember that practice is key. You’ve got this!
