I want to be an Astrophysicist....

Physics and calculus. If you hate those, then its not for you.

Study material is quite hard but then again you get certified geniuses in every street.......the point is what you are capable of doing with your talent, that's what matters. You can be a nuclear scientist without any degree all they ask is skill and intelligence.

I want to be an Astrophysicist or Aerospace Engineer. Maybe a Planetary Scientist. I've been told that these kinds of jobs are for geniuses and people who do great in school. I'm an average student in high school making things from A's (like in Chemistry and History) to B's (like Algebra and Technology) and low grades in things like Literature and Spanish (which aren't really needed in the types of jobs I listed). So what do you think the material students study is like? I would really like to learn about things like black holes and how things in space work (dark matter and stuff) but the types of physics and science that I would have to learn might be too much. What is your opinion?

A game designer is always another option...

If you really wanna be Astrophysicist, you will be!

That's really interesting career for men, who like physics. (And I really do!)

But how 'bout price of education?

Whatever you want to do, you have to really like it.

Follow your heart.

And if you want to be an astrophysicist or an aerospace engineer, make sure you really like it.

If you want to be an astrophysicist, you will probably need to major in physics with a minor in astronomy and then go onto grad school and at least get a Masters if not a PhD in Astrophysics or Physics.

To be an aerospace engineer, I'm not sure, but those two fields overlap a lot.

They're now printing all the textbooks in Spanish. You didn't fail Spanish 2 or anything, did you?

well i was going to go into astrophysics, but later in decided zoology is for me...

undoubtedly its an interesting subject but you have to have the grades, you need your physics and maths obviously as long as your doing well in them your fine, btw you dont have to be a genius :P (oh a B is fine for high school in maths :) and nice to see your doing well in sciences) id say for college your going to have to have A level maths and physics at good grades !

"Game designer" is not easy or fun, you have to crunch all day for little benefit only to have your project pulled after 5 years of development. It's for people who LOVE games, not just people who enjoy them as a hobby or play them cus there's nothing better to do.clembo1990

hah fair point :P

really :o at my college you dont have to take any extra classes unless you want to. you can do A level maths with a B, but hey a struggle is fine :P adds to the challenge heh :D

my school had A-level classes,

but they were for below average students

I'm really not trying to be mean or put you down or anything but, i know you, and i know people who are engineers and are becoming engineers. Practically every man in my family is an engineer and one of my close cousins is going to school to become one. First off, even the easiest engineering job is very hard to get into. And im sure astrophysiology and aerospace engineering are not towards the easier side of engineering jobs. Those professions really are for the geniuses and the people who do absolutely nothing in college but study. My uncle is an engineer and works for NASA and he is one of the smartest men i have ever met. My close cousin Zach is going to college right now to become an engineer and he is one of those people who, when he's not in class, he seriously studies 24/7. You have to be able to take an abundance of the hardest classes in college, and excell in them in order to become an engineer like that. Trust me Michael, no matter if you are interested in it or not, I know you and I know that engineering is not a job for you.

pfffft my physics teacher said i could easily get onto an astrophysics course when i was discussing careers with him and i am no genius :P plus hes pretty much a dik when it comes to reality he really does give you his honest oppinion !
