Hi again (this is my second post in a very short period), I don't quite know if I like working full-time as an engineer/researcher, and was curious about what my options are for part-time work as a researcher/mechanical engineer. I'm guessing that, for research, there probably isn't...

I finish school next year on April 2008. When should I start applying for work? Some people said as early as October.

Is there a website that most US universities use to post open positions for science & engineering tenure track professorships? Regards

Hi. I just finished my first year of engineering and I am going into chemical engineering. This summer, I must have applied at atleast 30+ engineering related jobs online at some fairly large companies. I haven't gotten an interview at any of them. Just a few days ago, I was doing lawn...

What top 5 future jobs do you think are going to rack in the money in the next 5 to 10 years? I'm guessing Biotechnology at top 3, and some type of computer job for the next 2.

and for non-local jobs >_> I'm graduating in May(the 11th to be exact), and was wondering about a couple of things. Say I see a tempting job opening somewhere that requires the BS, is it still ok for me to apply and note that I'm getting it PDQ? If not I kinda feel like I'm sitting on my...

I've heard the rumors that they exists: making financial models, certain engineering jobs etc. But I don't know where to find them, and I especially don't know where to find a non-academic physics job that fits my resume. Is there anyone out there with a physics degree (BS, MA, or PhD) who is...

i'm sure this has been covered elsewhere in the forum, but what sort of jobs are out there for people with physics bachelors degrees to get involved in research if there are any? it seems like all REU type jobs are for students (which after i graduate i will technically not be). i applied to...

Journals like Nature, New Scientist, Science or any Physics related journals and websites do provide job/fellowship listing, but it would be very difficult for a person to look at many sources every now and then and collect suitable vacancy announcements. I can tell you this is the most tedious...

Next year I will start my Ph.D. in physics. The last two summers, I have done REUs, but this summer I am not eligible. Does anyone know of any good summer jobs for someone in my situation? I am not necessarily looking for a job in research, just something fun that will require me to use my...

Hi, I was wondering, if you want to focus on physical electronics within Electrical Enginering, what kind of job you are looking at in the U.S? I mean, what do physical electronics people generally do?

eg. science/medical research positions whats it really?

Is it pretty common for companies that hire Electrical and Computer engineers to pay for their employees to go to grad school. It seems like many companies would pay for EE's with bachelors degrees to go to grad school as long as the employee signs something saying they will work for that...

I was just wondering what kind of jobs that people have gotten with Aerospace Engineering... I would like to get a research and development job when I get out with at least my masters, although I might go ahead and get my Doctorate. What my ultimate goal is to be able to make traveling in space...

I'm wondering what are some jobs tha don't require you to be good at communication with people, good at social skills, and where you don't have to meet groups of people everyday, but just simply work alone, and at the same time you need knowledge of either physics, pure math, or computer...

Hello there! I have a question to anyone who has an engineering degree, was it hard to find a job after you graduated? Some of my dad's friends at work have an engineering degree but they couldn't find a job so they're working on the assembly line as labourers. Thanks.

I don't recall having a thread about the hardest or worst jobs ever done. Tsu and I have been clearing about thirty trees on a hill. Today we had what was I believe our ninth burn pile, with each pile blazing perhaps ten to fifteen pick-up loads worth of brush, branches, and logs. As the day...

Sir, I am a B.Sc.Physics 3rd year student. I am a bright student and it is my long cherished dream to work in NASA. Could you please tell me about the jobs prospects for physicists there? Are all the jobs in NASA for engineers? If not, a specialization in which branch of physics will...

I don't understand what is with the whole father figure insisting on the teenager on getting a job. To be honest. You don't make any real money. They work you to death. So these part-time jobs are essentially worthless jobs; and anyone who claims that you learn skills. Thats definitely not true...

Are there really any jobs that you can get doing medical physics with only a bachelors in physics with a concentration in medical physics? Maybe like a technician/assistant to a medical physicist... I will be going to grad school for medical physics eventually after I get my bachelors, but...

Are there any jobs which require any actual work for a 16 year old? What I mean is, everyone I know who has a job works at a store packing bags. Are there any jobs which not ever 16 year old can do? Almost every job I've seen which actually does something only hires 18 year olds and up... Next...

Hey, I was wondering what kind of jobs someone can get with a degree in Theoretical Physics, and I'm also curious how if there is a decent job outlook. Thanks

So I'm in process of becoming an EMT-B, but this being NYC means uncertainty in getting the desired position during favorable time scales. What other positions are available to me while I'm still in school and particularly one that may need certification? I was also thinking about mortician...

For better or worse, for the thrill or the terror, what do you think are the most mind blowing jobs? At least one on my list is that of the helicopter lineman. http://www.helicoptermonthly.com/images/helinas2.JPG...

Hey! I'm about to start a Physics degree (MPhys) in October at Durham Uni, and afterwards I think I want to do a PhD. Just wondering what type of jobs are out there (not like being an accountant, like a real Physics job) apart from working in a university doing research and lecturing...

What jobs would be available to me if I went on post-grad with a mechanical engineering degree and got a masters and eventually a phd, specializing in robotics? I am interested in knowing, so i can decide if i should go to grad school.

What do you think are the worst jobs? Perhaps school consoler or rat exterminator are high up on your list of very sucky jobs? Or do you hate being the administrators of an online physics forum? What about stunt double? I would hate to be a babysitter, think of all the screaming kids. I Got...

Are there any physiotherapists in this forum? I am actually studying for this, but I don't know if it brings in money (enough money to live comfortably).. I should have studied to become an orthodontist (sp?), much better job outlook.. that's the problem because I don't know very many places...

Two firms V and W consider bidding on a road-building job, which may or may not be awarded depending on the amounts of the bids. Firm V submits a bid and the probability is 3/4 that it will get the job provided firm W does not bid. The probability is 3/4 that W will bid and if it does, the...

Where could I find a breakdown of middle-class jobs in the USA? I'm not looking for a simple listing, but a breakdown by categories. e.g., dividing jobs into manufacturing and service, then dividing service into categories like financial, education, etc., and so on until the actual...

Hi, I am an undergrad Aerospace engineering student, and I am going to start my junior year this Spring. I'm really interested in what I'm studying, but the job market for Aerospace engineers is predominantly federal. Does anyone know of, or can think of, or work for a company that is in need...

Except for teaching (that's the obvious). Please don't be vague and say ("research"), some specific examples would be nice (so in a sense not ALL the physics jobs, but specific things you could do - ie, work at NASA, be a stock market analyst, etc.). I just want to have an idea of what I can do...
