   For an agency can a physicist be employed as a rocket scientist or he has to get a degree in engineering?
   If not does he need to take some special courses to convert himself to a rocket scientist?

   The term "rocket scientist" is not very meaningful. There are all kinds of specialties involved in rocketry. Certainly someone with a physics degree could probably start out in one of the fields but it would likely be easier to move into it early on if you have an engineering degree
