I work with an ex physics major now doing planetary geology, at a university. Above all else, scientists should be problem solvers, and gravitate to where they can solve problems of interest to them. Too many fixate on one thing without consideration to where they can actually contribute something meaningful. Money/employment is not exactly equal to where you can meaningfully contribute, but there's a correlation.
