- ceeplusplus 5y agoThere should be a large number of jobs you could take on with a physics degree (although most are more math than actual physics). Any technical role in tech, actuary in insurance cos, quant trading roles, etc. How did you not find a job in 2 years? Of course I say this assuming you're based in the US - the European job market for technical people is much, much worse than the US.
- Avshalom 5y agoWell it was August 2009 for one thing. For another: physics/math isn't a stepping stone to technical roles. Physics from ivy league/new ivy is. A B.A. in English from brown is closer to a quant job than a physics degree from New Mexico Tech is. Hell at least NMT is, in the non austerity days, a path into a defense lab. There's half a dozen of state schools (in new mexico alone) offering STEM degrees that most people don't even know are schools.
