He’s the one who really helped me understand how we need to tell our students not to expect to find a “physicist” job. The other job/career possibilities you mention here are great options to have, and many of them “make a difference” as you say. I like to say that physics is the 21st century liberal arts major. That’s not to say I’m overly good at convincing people who are dead set on being, say, a chemist.
