Where a physicist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a physicist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Physicists are scientists who study physical phenomena. They focus their research depending on their specialisation, which can range from atomic particle physics to the study of phenomena in the universe. They apply their findings for the improvement of society by contributing to the development of energy supplies, treatment of illness, game development, cutting-edge equipment, and daily use objects.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a physicist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
