Yup, I have a PhD in physics.
In my freshman seminar, "primitive navigation", each year, I end up recruiting 3-4 students who become concentrators in physics or astronomy - so there's clearly some resonance phenomenon going on.

I've had students from many professions, but no physicists. That I know
of. Lawyers were the worst, complaining about the method of presentation.
Doctors varied, some being demanding, but others really wanting to learn.
But for the most part, I never knew my students' backgrounds, and it
really didn't matter.
