Why understanding physics is a good thing
For some of us, taking the lovely AP-C Physics course was simply to have that shiny passing grade to rub in the face of colleges and use to squeeze out some money from them--a "hey look I'm s-m-r-t!" badge if you will. Nearly everyone in the class thought about it economically when considering taking it; taking it in highschool is FAR cheaper than in college, and allows more focus on new materials, maybe it'll draw some scholarships, help get a job ect. But physics goes beyond that. Here's a list of some majors requiring a noteworthy amount of physics:
Acoustics
Aeronautical Engineer
Agricultural Engineer
Air Traffic Controller
Airline Pilot
Archaeologist
Architect
Astronomer
Audio Engineer
Broadcasting
Cartographer
Chartered Surveyor
Civil Engineer
Climatologist
Clinical Scientist
Computing
Designer
Doctor
Electrical Engineer
Energy
Engineering
Environment
Environmental Scientist
Forensic Scientist
Gas Engineer
Geologist
Health Services
Journalist
Laboratory Technician
Marine Engineering
Mathematician
Mechanical Engineer
Medical Physicist
Meteorologist
Naval Architect
Naval Career
Nuclear Scientist
Oceanographer
Operational Research
Patent Agent
Patent Examiner
Pharmacist
Radiation Protection
Radiographer
Scientific Officer (Government)
Space and Remote Sensing
Teacher
Transport
Water Management
And here's a list of some of the best paying careers:
1. Doctors/surgeons
2. Orthodontists/dentists
3. Cheif executive officer
4. Petroleum engineer
5. Lawyer
6. Architectural and engineer manigers
7. Natural science manager
8. Marketing manager
9. Computer info. systems manager
10. Industrial-organizational psychologist
11. Financial manager
12. Airline pilots, co-pilots and flight engineers
13. Sales manager
14. Air traffic controller
15. Pharmacist
Note the frequent overlaps? That's because physics is essential in a world of technological dependency and progression. So not only will physics save you money now, but it could very potentially make you plenty in the future!
