Hey, I know there are various opportunities for people with Physics degrees, but do any of you on here know of anyone who found a decent job with their BS in Physics.
Please let me know.

A BS in physics doesn't seem to be all that good in the field, most people now goes towards masters at least with a good bit by passing and going towards Ph.D.
If you are interested, Vanderbilt has a great physics department to get some good research and work towards your doctorate.
Edit: I'm not in Physics, my brother has his Ph.D in it. This is what he told me when I was asking him before.

Back in the early 2000s I worked at Los Alamos National Lab with many physicist. They all made a very good living but I also believe every one of them had a phd in physics.

Only Gaston
If he hadn't yet he'll be along shortly to tell us how smart he is
I do not know one single person irl with a physics degree

Sorry, I think you need more than a BS. I know two people with physics degrees and both went on to get a PhD. One is a college professor (which you say you don't want to be) and the other works in nuclear medicine.

With the exception of engineering and computer science, most STEM degrees really need graduate work to open up high paying opportunities.

Someone in my family that graduated from UL-Lafayette in physics started out designing missiles for Lockheed, and then moved onto Texas Instruments designing memory chips.

I do. He works for MSFT. Don't know what his job is.

The only person I know has an astrophysics degree. He was a TA at Tulane while getting his masters and eventually PhD. You'd think he'd have a great job, but nope, he just teaches high school science at a Catholic high school in Nola.
Kinda seems like a waste of an education to me.

I know someone with a BS in EE, another one in Physics, a master's in math, and is now finishing up his PhD in physics.
He makes bank tutoring around New. Orleans and charges $55/hr, singles and multiples. Was an AP high school teacher, but got aggravated with the bureaucracy and quit. I told him to work at NASA, but he said it would be a huge PITA since he is an immigrant

I know somebody with a degree in Astrophysics who went to get a masters in medical technology. The girl is too smart

I know someone with a BS in physics that does MRI or CT machine calibrations. From my understanding he makes a very good living.

My uncle has a Ph.D from M.I.T. In Physics. He's 87 and has worked for DuPont his whole professional life. He's still on staff as he's what one would characterize as being "pretty sharp". It was thoroughly a case of White Privilege as he washed dishes, hauled bedpans (in a V.A. Facility) and G.I. Bill-ed his way through school.
