Which Degree is Best for Getting a Job at NASA? Physics or Astronomy/Astrophy?

AI Thread Summary
When considering a double major at Penn State in aerospace engineering and either physics or astronomy and astrophysics for a career at NASA, the choice depends on career goals. For engineering roles at NASA, a focus on aerospace engineering is essential, making a physics major less relevant. Conversely, for scientific positions, a physics major is recommended, ideally paired with astronomy, as it prepares candidates for graduate studies and the necessary PhD for most science roles at NASA.

I was going to do a double major at penn state with aerospace engineering and either physics or astronomy and astrophysics. Which one would better help me get a job at NASA? physics or astronomy and astrophysics

THE better is astrophysics guy thatsn the best of all
 


What job do you want at NASA? If you want to work for them as an engineer, don't bother with astronomy or physics. If you want to work for them as a scientist, don't bother with engineering, and a physics major is best (or a double major with physics and astronomy). That better prepares you for graduate school, and you'll need a PhD for most science jobs at NASA.
 


thanks for the help. it is much appreciated
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
