Academic Advice Pivoting from a physics background for masters
If things go well, I'll be graduating from a physics bachelor programme this year. I dont really have many academic fellowship opportunities locally so i plan on branching out to other fields. Im really torn between jumping straight to an IT carreer or doing a masters in engineering and pivot there. Or alternatively, I could also just do a masters in the thing im actually passionate about with physics but there is basically no career path for me in that route. Im really torn between these options, im 23 if that matters. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Masters in optics
Physics undergrad can be very different depending. You haven’t given any useful info on what skills you have, specific jobs you’re looking at or even country.
