Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
Physicists begin gaining experience while in graduate school because they will be required to conduct an original piece of research for either a master's degree or doctorate. Students can gain professional exposure by presenting their findings to colleagues and publishing their results. Physicists can gain further experience through a post-doctoral position at a college or university or a fellowship.
