SUMMARY:Breaking the Myth of the "Non-Traditional" Physicist\, PGSC Pr
 ofessional Development Seminar\, Crystal Bailey\, American Physical So
 ciety (APS)
DESCRIPTION:Physics degree holders are among the most employable in th
 e world\, often doing everything from managing a research lab at a mul
 ti-million dollar corporation\, to developing solutions to global prob
 lems in their own small startups. Science and Technology employers kno
 w that with a physics training\, a potential hire has acquired a broad
  problem-solving skill set that translates to almost any environment\,
  as well as an ability to be self-guided and -motivated so that they c
 an teach themselves whatever is needed to be successful at achieving t
 heir goals. Therefore it's no surprise that the majority of physics gr
 aduates find employment in private--sector\, industrial settings. At t
 he same time\, only about 25% of graduating PhDs will take a permanent
  faculty position--yet academic careers are usually the only track to 
 which students are exposed while earning their degrees.<br>
\n<br>
\nI
 n this talk\, I will explore less-familiar (but more common!) career p
 aths for physics graduates\, and will provide information on resources
  to boost your career planning and job hunting skills.
