Nice. It's a wonderful place to visit though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Always worth the effort. I haven't worked in the Internet field in 4 years and STILL get the occasional call or email from my old resume.

Also, consider non-traditional work with a physics degree. Investment firms always like people with physics degrees. Has something to do with the fact that physics majors are very smart and can do kickass math. They'll teach you to do the rest. (And it's not as a broker, this is backroom analysis stuff.)

And yes, knowing people is always the best route. Doesn't get you the job, but gets you in the door. Work contacts from your old job, especially if you went out on good terms.

One of the higher level actuaries at the insurance company I work for has a degree in astrophysics. Just another route if you can't find work in your degree area.

Try a temp agency. A lot of companies contract out with them and it will get you in for interviews a lot easier than the email your resume thing.
