Is it hard to find a job with physics degree?

Over 50\% of those who get PhDs in physics don’t become physicists, often because of difficulty finding jobs. Physics majors are able to get jobs in other quantitative fields, but often with more difficulty than they would had they majored in those fields.

Can you be a civil engineer with a physics degree?

No. Even civil engineers need to get some sort of certification to practice. Nobody wants to die. (There are professional engineers in electrical and mechanical, but one can work without the certification).

What jobs can you get with a physics BS?

10 Great Jobs for Physics Majors

Is physics a good career path?

Employment opportunities for physics majors are robust, plentiful and lucrative. The AIP points out that nearly 50\% of grads who earn their BS in physics go directly into the workforce and enjoy careers in medical, engineering, computer science, military and other fields, often without further credentialing.

Where can I work with a physics bachelors degree?

Employment opportunities for recent physics bachelors degree recipients exist in all areas of the economy. Below, you will find a state-by-state listing of only a portion of the employers who recently hired new physics graduates to fill science and engineering positions.

How many physics graduates get a doctorate degree?

The Society of Physics Students (SPS) reports that just about one of six bachelor’s recipients in the discipline go on to earn their doctorates; about 30\% of those spend their careers in academia.

How hard is it to get a job with a BS?

Also if you did land a job with a BS, if you don’t mind me asking, what was it! Go to grad school. If your objective is to get a job you should think about an engineering masters. I know a lot of people who did that with a BS in physics. They had to catch up a little but it was fairly easy for most of them.
