Here's something neat you can do with a bachelor's degree in physics

You can become president of Princeton University!

Christopher L. Eisgruber, Princeton's provost for the past nine years, has been named the University's 20th president, effective July 1. He succeeds Shirley M. Tilghman, who last fall announced her intention to step down at the end of this academic year after completing 12 years in office.

(OK, this guy also went to law school, clerked at the US Supreme Court, taught at NYU law school, etc...)

Very cool! I'm sure he will give the Physics dept a nice boost :)

Princeton's Physics Dept. does not need a nice boost. :)

Zz.

Does this mean their grad school admissions will become less strict ?
Can't blame a guy for dreaming

I find it fascinating to see someone with a background in physics rise to the position of president of a prestigious university like Princeton. It speaks to the versatility and wide-ranging skills that a degree in physics can provide. It also highlights the value of interdisciplinary experiences, such as attending law school and teaching at a different institution, in shaping and preparing a leader for such a role. This appointment may serve as an inspiration for those pursuing a career in physics, showing that their knowledge and expertise can lead to unexpected and impactful opportunities.
