Phnom Penh (FN), Oct. 29 – There is a common misconception among students and parents in Cambodia that all university graduates in that major in physics eventually become teachers of that discipline. This paper aims to debunk this myth and show that physics graduates are in high demand in a fast-developing country like Cambodia. Various studies have shown that physicists are well equipped with critical skills for problem-solving using complex data sets.

They are familiar with data collection, analysis, and processing. With their strong background in physics, they are well trained in modeling and computer programming that are valuable technical tools for all socioeconomic sectors, from engineering to finance and from medicine to architecture. As such, physicists can turn countless ideas into impactful commercial and social projects. Physicists are also well prepared to cope with the emergence of new digital technologies because of their logical minds and powerful reasoning skills.
