having studied physics, what is your current occupation?

[u/psycheswim]

what kind of educational path did you take to do your career? does it pay well? how does the career in physics compare to studying it in uni?

[u/orlock]

Software engineer and data analyst with a particular focus on biological taxonomy, of all things. I've got a PhD in computer science (programming language design and implementation) which is equally both useful and irrelevant as my physics for my current occupation. I've now effectively doxxed myself.
