How do you see the role of physics graduates in today’s job market/society? 你認為物理系畢業生在目前的就業市場和社會中扮演著怎樣的角色？ 23 Minnie I am aware that there is a general lack of understanding in the society about what qualities physics graduates hold. Beyond that, through my involvement in sports and business-related events, I’ve noticed three common reactions when people ask about my major: The first one is no reaction at all, as if they don’t see how physics relates to their world. For the other two, they would either be "Wow! That must be hard!" or they mistake my major for physical therapy. However, I believe that physics students possess valuable soft skills, including analytical thinking, data processing, logical reasoning, and the ability to learn new concepts quickly. These skills are highly relevant in fields like technology, finance and data analysis — areas where strong problemsolving abilities and quantitative reasoning are essential. 我發現社會普遍不太了解物理畢業生擁有甚麼特質。除此之外，在參與體育活動或出席商業場合時，當有人問 及我主修科目，常見的反應有三種：第一種是沒有任何反應，好像他們不理解物理與自己生活有甚麼關聯似的，其 餘兩種是「哇！那一定很難！」，或是直接誤會我讀的是物理治療。 但我認為物理系學生擁有很多寶貴的軟技能，例如分析能力、數據處理能力、邏輯推理能力，以及快速學習新 事物的能力。這些能力在科技、金融和數據分析等需要極強解難和數據推理能力的領域都非常有價值。 Dr. Tam 譚博士 From my point of view, physics students have a unique attitude: Even if we don’t know something initially, we are able to learn it as we go and quickly apply it to real-world problems. Physics training also teaches us how to use mathematics and data to model and describe a system. This quantitative modeling skill is incredibly valuable in many modern professions. For example, developing new drugs requires simulating molecular interactions, policymaking involves understanding societal dynamics, and financial market modeling shares many similarities with the methods used in physics research — using data, math, and models to analyze and explain phenomena. Studying physics cultivates a distinctive way of thinking, enabling us to approach problems and the world from unique perspectives. It’s precisely this perspective and these abilities that allow physicists to play a special role in the workplace and society. 我認為物理系學生有一種獨特的態度：即使我們起初不懂某些事情，在著手做的過程我們就能很快學會，然後迅速 地將所學的應用到解決現實問題中。物理系提供的訓練還教會我們如何用數學和數據去建立模型來描述一個系統，這種 利用量化數據建模的能力受到現代很多行業所珍視，譬如開發新藥需要模擬分子間的作用，制定政策需要理解社會運力 學（societal dynamics），為金融市場建模都與物理研究所用的方法有很多共通點。以上談及的種種都是用數據、數學 和模型來分析並解釋現象。 學習物理令我們養成了獨特的思維方式，使我們能以獨特的視角去看待問題和這個世界。正是這種慧眼和能力，令 物理畢業生在職場和社會上扮演非凡的角色。 Dr. Leung 梁博士 Physics majors are highly competitive in the job market. The training provided in physics equips students with a unique skill set that is highly transferable to a wide range of fields. In addition, physics graduates are known for their adaptability. They excel at analyzing problems and finding practical solutions, quickly understanding work contexts and applying their skills effectively. This makes them well suited for roles that require problem-solving or analytical expertise. That’s why a physics degree is highly valued in North America where I currently reside. 物理系學生在職場上非常具競爭力，物理系的訓練為學生注入可以活用到不同範疇的技能。 此外，物理系畢業生有著極強的適應能力，擅長分析問題和尋找解決方法，亦能快速理解工作情境，並將所學 的技能應用其中，使他們能勝任需要解難或分析的行業，因此物理系學位在我現在居住的北美受到僱主高度認可。
