MajinVegeta Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Are there any jobs (that have a good pay) in the field of physics? I plan on getting a double PhD in theoretical physics and computer or electrical engineering. Would these degrees be profitable?
T_FLeX Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Are you really looking for high pay? If so, why not just become a doctor? I'm gonna say what just about everyone says to me when I ask this kind of question, which is to just do what you love. Mo money, Mo problems
MajinVegeta Posted March 6, 2003 Author Posted March 6, 2003 theoretical physics is what i love. but i want something profitable as well.
T_FLeX Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 So you can ride in bentley's and roll on dubs?..........ah me too:D
fafalone Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Best bet is private research. Expect to make about $75000/yr at most.
blike Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Another option is to teach. After 10 years or so at an institution your salary can become quite nice.
blike Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 10 year professors at USF make more than 40k a year. oh, and you can write books
fafalone Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 What do they make after the government froze all their assets for being terrorists?
blike Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Well, he was fired first, so salary is not determined by USF. ;x
NSX Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Well; it'll be hard at first. Just work hard. Gain recognition in the field of Physics, ie. give presentations, talks, etc. Then, people will start paying you to attend their conferences or give presentations, whether they be Physics or Non-physics.
Skye Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Take a look in the back of some science mags, alot of them have a jobs section. This will give you an idea of what you will be paid, and what areas actually have regular vacancies.
