My insights:

Physics is a course for incredibly intelligent persons, and If you attempt to dive into it with an average intellect, you'll find it challenging and useless. So, as you'll find, the Ideas I'm going to put on ground are going to be achievable only if you're reasonably smart. And no. Hard work won't cut it here. unless you want to start earning when you're forty.
You could go for a Masters, and then PhD, and become an independent researcher, most likely in theoretical physics.
You could go for a PGD after your degree and divert into petrochemical engineering.
You could apply for analytical jobs after your degree.
You could become an entrepreneurial innovator like Elon Musk
You could pick up programming while in school and, using your knowledge in physics, write helpful software for other physicists and engineers.
You could graduate with a first class and become a lecturer
You could become a highly celebrated Author, like Stephen Hawking and Richard Muller
You could go for multiple degrees and become an Authority, like Salman Khan. No, Not the one with all the bulging muscles.
You could go for a masters in a meteorological course and get a job at a weather forecasting company.
You could use your knowledge in physics to invent something really fascinating, which you can market to companies for a profit.
You could become a Motivational Speaker. Many Physicists are good at talking to people.
You could pick up a few Courses related to robotics and become a robotics researcher.
You could build a particle accelerator, connect yourself to it press the start button, and become flash.
You could partner with a team of experts from other scientific fields, get a patron, and participate in science projects around the world for money
You could partner with this team, only instead, you'd become an innovation company, building new technology and selling it to the highest bidder. see Raffaello D' Andrea
You could become a Science communicator, be a presenter for science programs, and go on talks. see Carl Sagan, Bill Nye, and Neil Degrasse Tyson
You could open a YouTube channel to do the above, instead. See Micheal Stevens and Derek Muller
I thought of all these withing 15 minutes of seeing your question. the point is not to brag, but to show you that the point is not the course you've chosen, But the knowledge gained. with that knowledge, The universe is on your finger tips. you can do ANYTHING you want. as long as you can imagine, as long as you utilize your brain to find out what you can do with the time that you have.
