Atomic Physics-Nuclear/particle Physics

<p>I’d like to clarify on something UncleFreezus referred to as it’s misleading: only 1 in 20 physics majors actually end up being physics professors in academia and the like! More info here on what to do with a physics degree- <a href=“http://dept.physics.upenn.edu/undergraduate/whatdo.html[/url]”>http://dept.physics.upenn.edu/undergraduate/whatdo.html&lt;/a&gt;
As for what to do for your degree I’d advise you to just go for a BS in Physics for now as I doubt any school would allow you to specialize so much in physics at the undergraduate level (nor would you want to). Eventually you’re going to be aiming for a PhD in physics to specialize, so you’re looking at a lot of education on the topic but the upside is you get paid for grad school (something most people don’t know about!). And no one will ever think less of anyone who graduates with a physics degree, so be sure to look into it thoroughly.</p>
