As good as any. It all depends on what you have to offer, what you are looking for, are you qualified for what you are looking for, and primarily how you are able to market yourself and stand out.

Hope you won't see my response here as being harsh.
But the truth is that if you had truly studied your Physics well enoufh , then you wouldn't have asked that question.
Physics is both the foindation and the hallmark of Science and Technology.
Go to Wikipedia and search for 'Outlines of Physics'. Maybe that would be helpful since it seems that the 4 or five years you spent in school studying yhe great Physics haven't been useful in helping you choose a line of carreer(s).

As a Physicist, I teach/lecture, carry out scientific, engineering and m;thematical researches in personal lab and with research institutes; write books (fiction and science textbooks); do computer programming; and I'm short of time to be able to do all that my scientific prowess has given me the capability for.

physics education or pure physics?
Re: What's My Chance As A Physics Graduate In The Job Market by laoma4u: 2:23am On Jul 28, 2015
Physics is a very strong course. If you made a 2.1 your chances are even juicier. You can apply to oil companies especially servicing companies as either a petrophysicist or a geophysicist. You can also further for your masters in geophysics. A lot of scholarship opportuinities there. With a course like physics, your options are unlimited. Provided ypu made a good grade shaa..

There is a medically related postgraduate course for physicist, I can't readily remember its name. It's in line with radiotherapy or something. Very few hospitals in Nigeria have them. It has a very good prospect. I strongly encouraged a relative who read physicics to pursue it.

still not the end of the world. first thing to do is to lodge your cv on careers.slb.com that is schlumberger's career site. other servicing companies also collect unsolicited applications. servicing companies value courses like physics a lot because most of their operations are based on basic physics. apply under field specialist position, i can assure you you'll get a test invite before the end of this year. the next thing is to improve your testing skills. cos you wouldn't want to have a rare opportuinity and waste it. also google mud logging jobs, might be helpful.

I'm a Physics graduate with a 2.1. And I'm targetting the following Industries. IT, Telecoms (did an internship with a telecoms equipment manufacturer) and oil and gas.
With the research I've done so far; the opportunities are limitless! So be strong and do your research well. Of all the pure sciences, Physics and Mathematics are the best(my opinion tho)!
