>>12422166It depends on what you mean by CE job. CE is a pretty wide field, and I'm not sure if you're talking about "CE jobs" in a broader or narrower sense. Physicists can definitely work with semiconductors, computer parts design and manufacturing, software development, and much more. Specially when we're talking about cutting edge technology, physicists are always welcome in engineering teams. However, the opportunities are quite scarce and demanding. You'll see a few jobs being offered in a few R&D departments looking out for physicists with PhDs, and I wouldn't really count on them. If you want to work with computer and electronics related stuff, just keep working as a researcher in uni in some applied physics lab, and maybe, I said MAYBE, you'll have the opportunity to work in industry.
If you specifically want to work in industry at a computer engineering related job, just go for a CE or an EE degree. Don't fuck yourself up even further.
