Is Applied Physics a good field to study for green technology and alternative energy?

How employable would someone with a Doctorate in Applied Physics be, in the alternative energy/green technology field?



What kind of jobs would such a person have?Is Applied Physics a good field to study for green technology and alternative energy?
YES! ABSOLUTELY!!! The application of physics is what inventors practice on a daily basis. As for the type of job, that would mainly be design engineer. One thing that you can do is think out of the box. You should delve into the practice critical thinking. You can do is apply the use of neodyme magnets for turning a generator, ask yourself questions such as "what would this do in a vacuum environment"? Will it increase the energy output? What natural kinetic energies can be used to turn a generator? What size unit would power a home? Is there any electronic pollution and if there is can I convert that pollution into etheric energy?Is Applied Physics a good field to study for green technology and alternative energy?
An applied physics PhD might well make you employable in the alternative energy sector, but almost every job listed in this and related fields calls for some form of an engineering degree.



A PE is HIGHLY employable in green tech and alternative energy at the operations level. At the theoretical or design level, perhaps a PhD would be an asset. There are just fewer of those positions out there.
