What to do with a Physics degree?
“Even logic must give way to physics.”
—Spock of Vulcan (Star Trek)
Why study physics? Basically, to better understand the universe.
That's pretty broad—but so is a physics degree. Physics majors of course most often go into scientific or technical fields (like optics, superconductivity, nanotechnology, new energy methods, etc.), but it is a very flexible degree. Physics majors go on to careers in biology, law, financial firms, teaching, and other areas—basically anywhere there are difficult problems to solve.
