What kind of jobs could a Physics graduate be looking at which does not involve teaching apathetic little bastards in high school? (generalisation, I know but I was one of them for the most part of my high school life and I don't want to have to deal with a whole bunch of those on a daily basis)
All I've heard is "jobs in finance" doing "programming" for "making models of stocks" and what not. And all of that is a little vague and it seems that those jobs are for PhDs and at this stage, I don't know if by the time I finish my BS, I will still be as interested in Physics as I am now. I mean, right now, I like it for its own sake and I like how challenging it can get and when I think of what kind of job I'd like, I think of something that is "intellectually stimulating enough so that it doesn't make me want to kill myself out of boredom" while making me earn enough to pay the bills and a little more. That's not asking a lot, is it?
With that in mind, my plan was to do a Physics BS with as many programming and mathematics classes as I could get into. Either way, my question is, what kind of jobs could I be looking at with that background? And where? (as in, which countries; I don't mind moving elsewhere - hell, I like the idea of doing so)
