A friend of mine is a Quantum physicist and is looking for a job (in Boston).
Universities are missing funds and also doesn't often provide a sane environment.
His knowledge of IT is limited to using linux and scientific programs (little python+R)
In what industry or position could he work for?
Maybe training in "Machine learning" ?
Ask HN: What could a Quantum Physicist do? | Better HN
Linux, Python and R are great assets for BI and or data viz. He should be learning Javascript for D3 or similar as well as play with a demo of Tableau. Startups love advanced degrees of any sort even Quantum Physics. Helps them make the leap;-)
