well... to be honest... jh Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 11:18:35 PM
i remember running into one of my professors on jury duty and i asked her if she had any advice for applying to jobs and her response was "i'm not sure you could get a good answer to that question from the department, as nobody has ever had to work in the real world"

I have a friend who has a masters in physics, it got him a very cushy job with Raytheon.


physics is kind of a wide subject. There are a lot of things which could land you pretty nice jobs if you had the foreknowledge to do something while in college/uni which is actually interesting from an industrial point of view. Semiconductor theory was apparently not that over here. :P
