I went on to get a masters in medical physics and am part of the cancer treatment process which is useful, and I found my physics BS to be very interesting throughout the entire degree. But I have to say, almost all of my classmates who got a physics BS have higher paying jobs (with less hussle day to day) than the ones who went into non-STEM fields. While the subject matter itself may not be used in the day to day job for some, most are in positions that wanted physics/math/engineering degrees.

Almost all my MS friends in basically any subject out-earn my BS friends. And my PhD friends who gave up on academics are about the same as my MS friends.
