SUMMARY:Breaking the Myth of the "Non-Traditional" Physicist: The Real Stor
	y about Employment for Physics Graduates
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Crystal Bailey\, Careers Program Manager\, American P
	hysical Society\nHosted by: David Campbell\n\nPart of the Physics Departmen
	t Colloquia Series.\n\nPhysics degree holders are among the most employable
	 in the world\, often doing everything from managing a research lab at a mu
	lti-million dollar corporation\, to developing solutions to global problems
	 in their own small startups. Science and Technology employers know that wi
	th a physics training\, a potential hire has acquired a broad problem-solvi
	ng skill set that translates to almost any environment\, as well as an abil
	ity to be self-guided and -motivated so that they can teach themselves what
	ever is needed to be successful at achieving their goals. Therefore it's no
	 surprise that the majority of physics graduates find employment in private
	-sector\, industrial settings. At the same time\, only about 25% of graduat
	ing PhDs will take a permanent faculty position -- yet academic careers are
	 usually the only track to which students are exposed while earning their d
	egrees.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explore less-familiar (but more common!) c
	areer paths for physics graduates and will provide information on resources
	 to boost your career planning and job hunting skills.
