Physics prepares you for Subway sandwich artistry or McDonalds Burger Fliponomics.

When you get a BS in physics, they give you Subway & McDonalds applications with your diploma.

SpaceX, JPL, NASA, DoD.

Optics? Electromagnetics? If youre studying physics you better be getting a PhD. You teach because that gets you grants for R&D.

What can one do in the private sector as an astrophysicist?

Finance is a lot like physics.
There's a whole lot of guess work and people just make up "dark" numbers to explain why they're right if the math doesn't add up.
Physicists can make gorrillians betting on stocks
