Hi, I've applied to study the Bachelor of Science Advanced–Research(Honours) course at Monash University and I intended on majoring in Astrophysics, but after doing some research I'm feeling really uneasy about it since it doesn't seem like there are a lot of jobs available for people doing Physics degrees, even if they progress to a PhD. Astrophysics really interests me, but I'd rather not spend years studying it only to end up in a job that has nothing to do with it because there aren't sufficient research jobs. Since the university offers double degrees in science and engineering would that be a better choice (note: the double degree take 5 years)? Also would it allow me to choose either path (engineering or astrophysics) for postgrad studies?
