You now might want to concern yourself with who in the world is hiring a college graduate with a physics degree. Their are tons of places on the internet to find this sort of information. One place I might suggest looking is at the American Institute of Physics web site (www.aip.org). The AIP is a wealth of information for employees and employers alike. In fact the AIP states that three-fourths of physics bachelors work in science related jobs, including software, engineering, highscool teachers and managers in technical feilds. The largest group, about one-fourth, are employed in software jobs Rachel Ivie and Katie Stowe, AIP).

The map above shows which states employ the most graduates with a bachelors in physics.
