As already stated, the skill set developed in the field of physics goes way beyond the field itself. In my generation, two major giants in the field of Economics (Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman) did their undergraduate studies in physics. Economics, System Dynamics/Financial Analysis, Big Data, Science Fiction and the entire world of the Social Sciences embrace the same skill set.
I was surprised to learn that the average BS Physics graduate from my Alma Mata took a job with an average starting salary of $78,000.
Who would have known?
