Hi, I want to Research and Lecture Theoretical astrophysics at a university when I'm older. I'm planning on doing a BSc (honours), Masters, PhD, and a ScD

Do you need a Post Doc to research and do lecture? Apparently Post Doc are one of the hardest degrees ..

A postdoc isn't a degree, it's a job title. Usually, after one obtains a PhD, one spends around 5 years working as a postdoc before becoming a lecturer.

If I were you, I would take things one step at a time, and focus on your undergraduate degree.

Oh I didn't know it was only a job title, thanks!

Indeed, you should focus on doing well in high school.

I need to ask you a question, I'm currently studying Khan Academy, Tutor Homework, ANU, and School work. Should I just drop Khan Academy and just revise on school work?
