Should I get degree(s) in these majors why or why not?

[QUOTE="SteamKing, post: 5480462, member: 301881"] You've picked three areas which don't have much overlap among them, so it's difficult to recommend that you should get a degree in all three, unless you want to be some sort of professional student for most of your life. You can get a good job in either of the two engineering fields with a bachelor's degree, but the astrophysics will probably take a graduate degree and maybe a doctorate to get a good job in that field. I'm pretty sure that air traffic control will have no influence on astrophysics (unless personal spacecraft become a thing) or nuclear engineering, but if you decide on structural engineering, you might be called on to design an ATC tower for an airport someday. The most important thing at this stage of your life is to take a few minutes and try to focus on what you want to do as a career. Rank your interests on a scale which runs from just interest as a hobby to interest as in a career, where you work at it 5 days a week all year. If you find that concentration is not your thing, I would consult with a physician. They have some wonderful therapies now for people who can't focus. [/QUOTE]
