      You could switch to computer science and take some electives in physics and upper math classes. Likewise, you could switch to an engineering discipline (mechanical or electrical, electrical is more math heavy) if you want to keep doing physics related stuff but want a better job security. On the other hand, the barrier of entry for programming and data science jobs is not very dependent on your degree, more so on your ability to program well enough and being comfortable with math and statistical analysis. So, in that case, you could see if you can get a physics degree with a minor in computer science or data science. Later on, you could pursue a computer science master's degree and specialize in a high demand field e.g. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, specific data tools etc. Good luck

    • @TMartialarts1
      @TMartialarts1 2 роки тому +1

      @@bereniceg777 Talk to an academic advisor and see if you can get a minor or double major. I would recommend taking at least the courses "intro to programming", "data structures" and "algorithms" before you graduate, that way you can apply directly to a masters in Computer Science/Data science. You could apply and enter a master's without these classes but you'd have to take them within the first year of the master's.
      So move your course load to graduate later(e.g. graduate in 5 years instead of 4 years), take these classes, practice programming in your free time, attempt to get a decent GPA and if you haven't yet, I would strongly advise to do research in your institution or a nearby university (which you can do as an undergrad) and also attempt to get a summer research or work internship abroad or nearby (they typically cover all of your living cost and you'll receive a decent stipend).

      I suggest watching youtube videos about physics, listen to podcasts and read books. They can be simple pop science books as long as you are motivated by curiosity. If you want you can always get an undergrad textbook from the library and try solve some problems but that is not necessary unless you want to. I would also pay a lot of attention in math class at school as you get to know the mathematical tools you would need to actually do physics.

      hi idk if you’ve gotten an answer to your question yet but yes with a masters in physics you can definitely go into many fields that are all a pretty good return on your investment. Anywhere from $60k- $80k at least. especially if you pick up some skills along the way during your studies like some basic coding & computer skills. Id say look into what you want your actual career to be as far as physics & then see what is required. Even just a Bachelors degree will have great return on investment, sometimes even higher than a masters depending on the field.

      Yes, as the man in the video pointed out, with a degree in physics you can work in a plethora of other areas, if you can't find a physics job that pays what you need.
      If you do not want student loan debt, then don't take out a student loan. Get a graduate assistantship and they pay you. You'll still need to buy your own books though, which is only a couple hundred dollars or so.
