Physics with Astrophysics or Just Physics (BSc)

[don_a]

Hi,

I just want to know if it would be better job wise to have a degree in "Physics", or a "degree in Physics with Astrophysics" given;

1) I want to follow an astro related field?

2) I want to have number of options (physics related and/or unrelated eg banking)?

..and then an opinon on overall which you think is better?

thanks

I don't think it matters. There are a lot of people (like me) who did a physics undergraduate because the school didn't offer an astrophysics option at the time.

Ok, well my situation is that my university just awarded me a degree in physics, when I actually completed physics with astrophysics...so I am not sure if i should inform and change or just keep this?...and I have also already been accepted for a masters in astronomy and astrophysics so I am not sure how much this will matter either :S
