The usefulness of physics is evident in products such as lasers, computers, mobile devices, high speed levitated trains, superconducting magnets, high energy particle accelerators, medical MRIs, etc. As a physicist, you might use your knowledge to design missions to other worlds, develop new theories to explain fundamental particles of matter, the motion of galaxies, and the evolution of the universe itself. If you like being challenged, then you want to be involved in an exciting field that will provide many opportunities; that will allow you to be creative; and one where you can make a difference! Physicists enjoy a great variety in their careers that include the areas of Astronomy, Biophysics, Computational Modeling, Engineering and Applied Physics, Industrial Research and Development, Medical Physics, Molecular Electronics and Optics.
