You should be self-employed.
1. If some experience cannot be learned through self-employing work, work for others for several years first. (I had worked as a teacher for 3 years.)
2. For being a physicist, you have to join a university first, as a postgraduate student or a researcher. I did it by being a master student. And I have applied for UU.
The main point is your teacher and your boss have to be much more intelligent and experienced than you. Otherwise, you cannot learn much.
Start a small business.
