2. Physics is… Extremely interesting Challenging Great fun

3. Careers The obvious ones: Physicist Medicine Engineering But also: Finance Law Anything else

4. Physicists earn more cash! £££ According to a 2005 Pricewaterhouse Coopers report, a graduate in physics or chemistry earns around £187,000 more during their career than someone with A Levels but no degree.. A report, by Professor Geraint Johnes from the University of Lancaster Management School, found that the highest salaries are enjoyed by those who took physics, chemistry and biology together at A level.
