Our physics and education programs here at A&M-Commerce are exceptionally well-positioned to prepare you for such a career!</div><div><br></div><div>The second chart shows the ultimate destinations of students graduating from physics master's programs. In other words, you can see where your peers graduating from grad programs like ours tend to go. Notice many highly successful students choose not to go on to a PhD but take jobs (usually well-paying ones!) in the workforce.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, if you would like a list of companies that recently hired new physics bachelors broken down by state, go to: <a href="http://www.aip.org/statistics/whohires">www.aip.org/statistics/whohires</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>KAW</div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
