Pretty interesting stats from AIP on physics job prospects:
http://www.aip.org/statistics/trends/phystrends.html
* There are only about 200 faculty jobs per year at
(PhD-granting) universities:

* There are over 1000 physics PhD's granted each year, so the chances of
getting a faculty job are roughly 1/5 (200/1000):

* You can make a ton more money in the private sector than in a
university. Doh!
