Brilliant video ! This really change my perspective (positively) abt getting a degree in physics 😀

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.

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?

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
