To become one you have to study in uni for 10-12 years, and then if you are lucky to find a temporary job, you are paid close to minimum wage. After you get about 5 years of work experience and your last contract expires, you are pretty much no longer employable in physics, because universities have tens of young and energetic doctorates ready to replace you. Even if you are better then them, many countries and universities have strict rules not employ researchers with more than 5 or 6 years of work experience. There is a tiny chance that you'll be able to replace some retired physics professor, but it's extremely unlikely given the number of applicants. The above however is not true for some places in developing world. China, India and Latin America offer a number of nice jobs for physicists, especially for those who are far above average level. The question is then whether you want to move there or quit research. | ||

usually this info is confidential also why does everyone care about money. that tells nothing. If you earn 3 times more than someone else but have to pay 5 times more for the living then you make no more than the other person. | ||

I care about money because the more I earn, the earlier I can retire and the more time I have to play starcraft 6,7 and 8 before I die at 87 years of age. Anyway in Aus a 22 year old starting at a top tier consulting firm will earn 6 figures. Can retire before 40 easily. T | ||
