I know this has been on here alot, but I'm another of those that will be going back to college to get my physics degree. I'm 36, spent time in the intelligence field and infosec (meh), and realized that my first and only love was always space and physics. I did a year and a half of physics when I first started.
Couple questions:
1) Doing a 3 year degree doable? I've seen 3+2 scenarios with engineering (AWESOME stuff wish I had that in my area)
2) Math is #1 from what I've read from the forums. For refreshers, has anyone tried the Apple University free courses with much success? Even used it to test out?
3) I'm hoping to CLEP as much as possible. However, it's been a long time since I did physics, so I assume CLEPing any math or science is not good right?
4) I want my most from space/astronomy. It seems like going astronomy means I'm having to go straight to PHD. Is a minor useful in doing non-PHD level work at an observatory or science lab?
Cheers and thanks!
