Tips for Pursuing a Career in Astrophysics

[Luke Coughlin]

Hello everyone, I began using this for help with some concept homework questions for my physics 1 course. I dream of getting a PhD someday and focussing on astrophysics. I would want to work near the west coast so I could take advantage of their clear night sky. I'm only about 60 credits into my undergrad and would appreciate any tips I could implement while moving forward in this career.
