Physics is the science behind the laws of nature and how energy and matter relate to each other. While one would think that studying physics for your undergraduate degree would leave you with a limited amount of career options, the contrary is actually true.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, only 0.2% of college students graduate with a physics degree, and a smaller percentage of that go on to become physicists. In reality, physics majors can go into a variety of fields including teaching, communications, finance, programming, or insurance.
