Number 129 (Story #4), May 19, 1993 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein PHYSICS BACHELOR DEGREES were awarded to 4965 students in the US in 1992; 38% went off to graduate school in physics/astronomy, 21% to other graduate studies (mostly engineering), and 36% sought full time employment. The 1991-92 Survey of Physics and Astronomy Bachelor's Degree Recipients also showed, among other things, that the fraction of new Bachelors who became high school teachers has doubled since the 1980's.
