Am not sure type of jobs i want to do yet
What degrees give the widest range of jobs?


What about IT? You can get lots of jobs from that as well.

Psychology.

Lol wut, people are just putting down whatever degree they're studying as being the most versatile...

History! Sociology!

Realistically, your best hope of a job is to study for something that can be put to real use, ie - all forms of engineering, maths, law, medicine etc
Wth? Why are people saying Maths?

I mean all I can think of for Maths is Finance. Any other career option with Maths could be easily done with Physics tbh.

Imo Physics as you can go into:

*Computing/IT
*Engineering
*Research
*Medicine (not a doctor, but you can be a Medical Physicist)
*Finance

etc

Not really I'm afraid, not unless you do an MSc

Physics is good, but if you are going to go down that route, then surely

Electrical/Chemical/Mechanical Engineering is the best all rounder

But it's still possible to. I.e. do an MSc + Physics.

Sure, it's going to need extra study, but so does a Medical Physicist and being a researcher.

Also, surely it's possible to do an Engineering PhD with a Physics degree, but I don't think you can do a Physics PhD with an Engineering degree. :s-smilie:

really? I wouldn't have thought so, but that's interesting to know :smile:

Yes, it is possible, but obviously an engineer would be more preferable to a Msc if the course was competitive (often they are not)
Maths
the more applied a degree is the narrower your scope and as we know from a certain XKCD comic maths is the purest subject
