Career questions tagged physics
What are the steps that I should take to become someone in the field of Aerospace Engineering? I am going into Eighth Grade.
I am thirteen and I have a strong interest in space, math, science, and especially physics.
What could I do to find more job opportunities as an undergrad student?
This is coming from an undergrad physics major, psychology minor female student. I am currently a sophomore who is looking for job opportunities, yet failing to find any that seem useful to my future career goals. I would like to find more STEM related jobs, however, I mainly see retail jobs available now-a-days.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
I'm currently going into my first year of college. I was planning on doing a major in Physics with a minor in film but the more I look into it and do research the more I find out that Physics isn't a secure job. I was originally going to do Computer Science before Physics and I was thinking of switching back to that because I also enjoy programming. My goal post-college was to hopefully get a job in the film industry. If that didn't work out I could have a master's degree in Computer Science and get a job working as a software engineer or something similar. I'm so lost right now and have no clue what I should do. Any advice is helpful. Thank you so much.
I will be majoring in astrophysics in college, but am not entirely convinced by my major selection because I think it will restrict me to fewer jobs than, for example, a physics degree. Is there really a difference in what I major in if it's related to STEM?
I'll be graduating this year and am hoping to major in something that I enjoy that could provide financial stability in the future.
What can I do to be an astronomer? What classes would I take in college? Is it expensive to be one?
I'm in 11th grade in high school, the sky interests me and fills my head with questions, theories, and emotions. I would like to know how to be one who studies the sky?
What are the prerequisite of astro physics?
I am interest in learning more about physics within our world. Space is a very unique and it's a vast area that we humans have only dabbled in. The universe is indefinite and learning more about the subject will help us explore more about the realm of space and its functionality.
What jobs can I get with a Bachelors in Architect?
Hi! Lately, I have been interested in the field of Architecture. Mostly because I really like math and also the art aspect of it. Yet, If I only end up getting the bachelors, what job(s) can I get out of it?
What’s the best way to get into the nuclear physics field?
I have always been interested in nuclear physics, and I was wondering how best to enter the field, whether through an internship, basic career entry, or post-doc.
How difficult is it to find a career after graduating from an astronomy major?
I really enjoy my physics class and I want to major in astronomy, but am not sure what I want to do with it after college. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find a career that I will really love.
What jobs would allow for my skill in Spanish and my years of Spanish Immersion to be best used?
I have been taking Spanish Immersion for all of my life within my district, therefore I would like to find a job that will make all my learning worth it. I am also into other jobs such as physics and law, but still I would like to use Spanish within my job or place of work
Is physics required if you're a cs major in college?
I was told that as a cs major, you are required to take a few physics classes but I don't really see the correlation between physics and cs so I'm not really sure.
what are 5-10 specific things you do as a photonics engineer?
I've been looking into many engineering paths and one that interests me is photonics, and i was wondering what are some things/projects that you work with on a daily basis. Also do you work independently or with a team.
What path in college would I need to take to get a job in Physics.
I am interested in becoming a physicist but I do not know what path/classes to take in college.
Is earning an astronomy degree hard?
What's involved in earning an astronomy degree? Does involve a lot of math, physics, and theoretical classes? What classes would one take?
confused about what to pursue in college
hi, I am a student currently studying in class 12th with major subjects as math, physics and chemistry. I'm really confused about the career should pursue further. I'm interested in being a commercial pilot but taking aeronautical engineering as an ug course will leave me with minimal options. Since I'm unsure about pursuing that I can't take the risk. Also, I would like to know which country is the cheapest to get a commercial pilot license and how is the life of a pilot like do they have a personal life? and have they been able to settle down in life?
States of matter
Can there be more than 5 states of matter on earth. And what actually is plasma and B.C.E states of matter
What's the difference between working in a lab and working in R&D for a company?
I'm graduating with my bachelor's degree in physics this May (yay!), and I learned that I loved working in the lab, performing experiments, doing computational analyses, drawing conclusions, etc. I'd love to work in a lab at some point but there seem to be a lot of entry barriers for physicists who don't have a higher degree. I'm wondering what the main differences are between working in a lab and working in a research and development role in industry. Any insight appreciated!
Courses in high school
A lot of colleges recommend that students take all three fundamentals of science (biology, chemistry, physics), however I'm looking into doing AP Biology instead of doing physics since biology is more related to my field of interest. Will that affect anything when I'm applying to college?
As a new graduate (bachelor's in physics), can I apply for internships as a way to get my foot in the door?
I'm trying to find research (possibly contracting) positions in physics, laser science, data science, or imaging science. Looking at indeed, the only entry level positions I find are for new PhDs. Could internships be a good route to getting a foot in the door for full time positions? #science #physics #lasers #internships #data-science #imaging #optics #research #engineering
How do you decide what college to pick?
I want to be a physicist but I don't know what college I should try to get into. Any recommendation? #college-advice #physics
I would like to know what the process is like, how is the work environment is in both fields, and if you had to go through the process again what would you have done differently? What career advice would you give me when entering the work force

What can be some of the best job options after studying physics?
Hello I’m Jose, right now I’m doing an exchange student program so I traveled from Spain to here, America, so I can learn about your culture and to perfect my English as much as I can. One of my dream careers I would love to study as I also love that subject is physics. So my question here is what are the options of jobs after studying a physics others than be a teacher. Thank you so much for taking your time to answer I hope you are having a nice day. #physics #job
What does an applications engineer do?
I've heard mention of the job title "applications engineer" at an optics conference I attended recently. It seems like they work with customers to develop a product based on the customer's specifications. I'm interested in science communication and hands-on physics / engineering. Is this the kind of job for me? I'll complete my undergraduate degree in physics this spring. #physics #lasers #photonics #applications-engineer #engineering #science #science-communication #optics
