It also prepares one very well for advanced study in sciences, social sciences, humanities, law, medicine, or other professional programs.

The actual Physics classes include the Intro series (I, II, and Modern), Mechanics I and II, Electricity and Magnetism I and II, Quantum, and sometimes Thermodynamics.  That's the core; there are more Physics electives needed, and most programs require some sort of research project, paper research, or presentation.

If you intend to pursue physics through the Ph.D.  program, you will take the hardest

classes possible at any university.  Classes in other disciplines (organic chem, molecular biology,

for example) are very difficult, but they include a level of rote memorization that is more

severe than physics courses, where you have to learn new and foreign ways to *think*.

physics jobs, which are research, teaching, and College/University professorships.  Physicists are found in any industry/business where creativity, ability to think, and ability to analyze are highly valued.  It is a great field to go into if you want to get into data analysis, investment analysis, management, or any of the traditional jobs.

1.) Very quiet, generally pale and undernourished.  Often mistaken for

computer science majors due to the lack of sunlight exposure.  Examples: Hawking (pre-ALS), Sagan.

2.) Very outgoing and charming, oozing intelligence and friendliness, with a child-like curiosity hovering around them.  Examples: Feynman, Einstein.
