What can I become after I graduated from Melbourne Uni's Bachelor of Science?

[Sato]

I'm willing to do master or doctor, but what can I really become after I've done physics at uni? o.O

In theory, a lot (see their website for details).

In practice, you need a higher qualification to get into the top end jobs.

With just your BSc, you can get a job and be paid well, but there are limited opportunities without further study. You find a lot of people going back to study after working for X years.

Physicist, engineer, mathematician, something to do with materials research, accident research. Many things.

The BSc makes you employable in itself to a fairly decent degree, but if you get a MSc, or MEng or something like that in a specialized branch the possibilities are pretty much endless.
