Not sure where you are, but I pursued physics as well and found the exact same endpoint as you. I'm currently teaching, but there's just not the jobs for physics unless you're going to pursue a higher degree. Now, when I talk to students interested in physics, I always tell them to just do engineering and take some physics electives on the side, or to double major in something engineering related.

My most apt description for physics is "useless engineering" when it comes to jobs; a decent overlap in content, but none of the opportunities.

(I also wish I had done math; I've come to realize that's what I like about physics, outside of astro)
