"Breaking the Myth of the "Non-Traditional" Physicist: The Real Story About
Employment for Physics Graduates"

Abstract: 

Physics degree holders are among the most employable in the world, often
doing everything from managing a research lab at a multi-million
dollar corporation, to developing solutions to global problems in their own 
small startups. Science and Technology employers know that with a physics training, 
a potential hire has acquired a broad problem-solving skill set that
translates to almost any environment, as well as an ability to be self-guided
and -motivated so that they can teach themselves whatever is needed to be
successful at achieving their goals. Therefore it's no surprise that the
majority of physics graduates find employment in private--sector,
industrial settings. At the same time, only about 25% of graduating PhDs
will take a permanent faculty position--yet academic careers are usually
the only track to which students are exposed while earning their degrees.

In this talk, I will explore less-familiar (but more common!) career paths for
physics graduates, and will provide information on resources to boost your
career planning and job hunting skills..
