    PhD in Astrophysics: Wasting my time?

    Ah ok, I think I've got it. Now when you say engineering + CS, are you referring to a specific type? The department that I'm in, specifically, has 2 other degree plans that I can do without ever having to cross into another department, and those are computer engineering and software engineering...

    PhD in Astrophysics: Wasting my time?

    Alright that's fair enough. So are there any good non research science or engineering positions available in civil service with a B.Sc. or a M.Sc.? Just trying to get a feel for what I should do and set a clear goal so that I have something to look forward to, because I tend to do much better...

    PhD in Astrophysics: Wasting my time?

    Ok thanks, that's a fair point. So is there a way to work for the federal govt in some capacity as a scientist or engineer without having to give up my current job? Maybe a master's program or something along those lines? I'd be willing also to work in a national lab under the DOE or some other...

    PhD in Astrophysics: Wasting my time?

    Hello all, so I'm just finishing up my basics in undergrad school and am starting to take math and introductory physics classes, and just wanted to clear something up to make sure that I'm not wasting my time. My goal is a PhD in astrophysics. Now I know that in order to get into a good grad...
