Where do physics majors work after obtaining their degrees? Statistically, about 40% of physics graduates become employed rather than choosing graduate studies. The career fields are exceptionally varied but fall primarily into five categories: Engineering, Computer Hardware/Software, Business/Finance, Research/Technical, and Education. Our panelists have a wide range career experience and career types. Please join us for an overview of their career experiences and some advice for how to get started in your own career.
