High variance. A lot of mathematics programs allow one to specialize in fairly narrow subjects IIUC, which does not convey a lot of general technical skill. I’m sure there are some physics programs which are relatively narrow, but my impression is that physics programs typically force one to cover a pretty wide volume of material.
