I am currently a physics student in a Nigerian university. since my admission, people have been telling me the only place i can work is in schools which i don't like. Now, physics graduates on nairaland, where do u work?

Please am intrested in this topic,i even intend to enter physics option in my HND next school section

Lets hope our physicists out there would come to our aid

Fear not guys. You're set to study one of the best courses you could ever hope for.
Physics opens up your analytic mind, which is one of the most sought-after qualities in the labor market.
What you can do while still in school, is to decide what career path you'll like to thread and start working towards it.

For instance, If you'll like to be a Financial Analyst, you should start researching and working towards becoming a Chartered Financial Analyst(CFA). Or if you want to delve into the I.T. world, start learning about everything I.T.

The bottom line is, your foundation will help you get a good understanding of whatever you decide to learn (what can't you understand if you could understand Quantum Physics? )
And don't forget to get good grades too

I studied Physics and i've always worked as a software developer/programmer even from school.
I currently work in that capacity at a telco in nigeria.

Good luck!
