basing your field of study on job prospects is not the path to happiness

study what you're best at, otherwise you're cheating yourself and cheating the world :O)

BSc might be a bit early to quit but in general:

Physics jobs are extremely dependent on where you got the degree. Especially if you want to go to science. Typically a specialized field is not that big and everybody knows everybody.

Chances are much better if you have a degree from a place (with a recommendation from a Prof) they know. Excellence breeds excellence etc...

A Physics grade from a low tier university is not the best thing, there is not really a in-between job-market for physicists, either you are grade A or nothing. But one can always teach at some school of course...

A bit polarized perhaps but that is my impression, if you want job safety go for some engineering degree instead.

Surely pure physicists must be able do an engineer's job.

Amazing.

You'll be Senior Shit-Shoveler at some endangered animal facility after a mere semester of school.

Good luck.
