[quote=Anonymous]When a gazelle encounters a lion, the first thing it does is jump real high, and only then starts running. The jump doesn't aid it in getting away, but it signals to the lion that the gazelle is spry and not worth chasing. There are a few majors that function like the gazelle jump - not useful in themselves, but they signal to employers that the recipient can handle tough problems and is not @#$&ing around. Physics would be the main one. There's a degree ROI report on the Georgetown website. I'd link it but I'm on my phone and about to go to bed. It shows that physics grads do very well - look it up and share it with DC. Encourage him to apply for finance internships. They love physicists for quant positions, even more than math grads.[/quote]
