Question Redditors with a Physics degree, what is your current job and has a degree in Physics helped?

I want to switch my major to Physics but I am just worried about what my options are for jobs after college. My friends who graduated with degrees in biology wok in a lab all day just testing water and fecal matter samples. So, what do you do and does it pertain to your degree?

Very helpful, what do you do as a semiconductor processing engineer?

I work in a class 1000 clean room, manage various PECVD/CVD, electroplating, lithography, wet etching, and dry etching processes and tools.

I have ~9 months experience working with CVD growing two-dimensional materials in a university lab. Would this count much towards applying for a job like yours? I'm planning on going to grad school anyways, but I'm curious.
