arjose said:Does anyone here know of a possible bridge degree between a bachelor's deg in electronics engineering and a degree in planetary science? I plan to pursue degrees in astronomy and then planetary science without wasting my five years with electronics. Is it possible to link them? If so, what careers can I have with this combination?

One thing that sticks out with electronics and astronomy is signal processing. Have you done any of this? (Be it using hardware or software or a combination of both)?
There is a lot of data to analyze, and signal processing should be a significant part of that, so maybe that might be a lead for you.
A bridge degree between electronics and planetary science is an interdisciplinary program that combines elements of both fields to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how electronics can be applied to the study of planets and other celestial bodies.
Subjects covered in a bridge degree program may include electronics, planetary science, astronomy, data analysis, instrumentation, and space technology.
Graduates of a bridge degree program may pursue careers in fields such as space exploration, satellite design and development, planetary research, and space instrumentation.
To succeed in a bridge degree program, students will need a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and computer science. They should also possess critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
Yes, a bridge degree program can serve as a stepping stone to graduate studies in related fields such as aerospace engineering, planetary science, or space technology.
