Jobs for graduates with a degree in physics?

If the 50K is your motivation...go the engineering route.  Civil and mechanical both have starting salary in the mid-high 50's.

Good luck.

If you have the brains to get a degree in physics, and want to make money only with undergraduate degree in physics, go into engineering instead.

You would at least need a masters or PhD to make it in pure physics, unless you want to teach high school.

At the risk of being rated thumbs down.......

Its not worth it, but your father is rich... So...what the heck....

I'm in my final year studying Physics at a UK university. The jobs I tend to see people going into are research based, or finance, most people on my course are not studying for a well paid job at the end of it, they do it because they enjoy it (really). Look in the back of Physics World or New Scientist; you'll see jobs that require brains the size of planets but the pay is peanuts.

I'm not saying its impossible to get a great job with such a degree as you often hear on the news about the lack of physics graduates. The numerical and problem solving skills you gain are second to none but I fear that my degree is too broad with very little overall specialism.

Dunno if I've helped. My plans are to become a commercial airline pilot should I finish the final year (its bloody hard).

You still need a masters to teach HS.  Go engineering.  $$$$$$
