Software Engineer
Quantitative Analyst
Optical / Semiconductor Engineer
High School Physics Teacher (with cert)

Typical pay: $58,000–$85,000 early-career (BLS physicist median $155,680, requires PhD)

A Physics major covers classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, modern physics (relativity), and laboratory methods. Math is heavy, calculus through differential equations, linear algebra, and often complex analysis. BS-track programs prepare for graduate school in physics or engineering; BA tracks suit pre-med or interdisciplinary applications.

Physics graduates are highly sought-after for their analytical and quantitative skills. Career paths include physics PhD (academia or national labs), engineering (hardware, optics, semiconductors), quantitative finance, software engineering, and patent law.
