My Career

[thamior]

Um...I haven't even graduated High School but I have loved Astronomy my whole life. When i go to college should i get a Ph.D. in Plasma Physics as well as Astrophysics? I've heard that Astrophysics doesn't pay well and that won't stop me from getting a Ph.D. in it but I'm wondering if i could make more money if i also had a Ph.D. in Plasma Physics?? Basically i need to know how much most Astrophysicists make (yearly) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>--What is the truth but a wisp of truly un-attainable information.  There is no absolute truth anyways, only false perceptions and misgivings.--     </p> </div>

One word of advice: If you're going into science for the money, then you might want to look at your reasons a bit harder before you commit. Doing something like Astronomy is something you do because you love it, not because of how much it might pay. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Money may be a reason (poor reason though <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />) but you will make more money where you are good at and you will probably be better at what you like. Choose what you like and what you are good at.

I agree with search,<br /><br />What a coincidence my name is shaun too. Except it is spelled with a "U". Anyway nice to meet a fellow sean every now and then. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div>________________________________________ <br /></div><div><ul><li><font color="#008000"><em>your move...</em></font></li></ul></div> </div>
