When I was young I wanted to work at NASA and be an astrophysicist. My grandmother told me that girls aren't scientists, we are teachers, nurses, or mothers. My grandma was everything to me, so she was right in my eyes. I was crushed but understood. I was always really good at math & science in school, but I kept them, as well as my fascination for space, as hobbies as I got older. Now I think about pursuing at least a physics degree but it seems a waste. I'm 45 and my pay is comparable to an astrophysicist. So I'll just watch your videos, read scientific articles, and keep all of this as a hobby. ❤

If you are passionate enough you can still learn in your free time, gather a textbook in something specific that you like and any time you find a reference you don't understand, look for that subject in other books. There are plenty of passionate people that do research even if they aren't astrophysicists themselves. You probably won't have access to fancy instruments but you can still do stuff with small telescopes

I have had the most enjoyable career teaching physics and astronomy in junior college. I got an MS in physics/astronomy (which is the same coursework as a PhD, just without the years of research/thesis), and now I enjoy great hours (only in school 175 days out of the year!), pay, and doing what I love. . . teaching others about the universe. It's another route to consider.

Interesting that you mention that about teaching in junior college. I took two astronomy classes in junior college before going on to a 4 year college as an engineering major, and I think the teacher I had for those classes was very content with his life and was able to take ski vacations often which was his other passion. In fact I'd say he appeared to be more content with his teaching career than any of the other professors in various subjects I recall running into later. As a student of his I got to do a lecture in front of the class on an astronomy topic of my choice, which was explaining the Drake equation. This was back in the early '80s, shortly after Carl Sagan's Cosmos series aired where I heard about the Drake equation first. Good memories.

@@moronicpest Thanks for your comments. We in junior college don't deal with the stress of doing "publish or perish" research at the expense of teaching.

"I just needed to know." Man, you're an inspiration. I started an astrophysics degree in undergrad for the exact same reason, also without the intent of making it a career. I too felt like I was pretty dumb compared to my peers. The difference is that I succumbed to the pressure and changed my degree to film production. That ended up working out okay for me, but had I heard your story 15 years ago, it may have changed my mind. I still do regret that I didn't keep up with the math and physics, and probably never will understand the things that I've always wanted to understand. It's great to hear about self doubt from someone as respected as you are. Thanks so much for doing this episode!

My story of my failed astrophysics degree before i even started: I wanted to be a computer scientist after high school. I always loved astronomy and physics tho, so I decided that I would try to go for astrophysics major instead and computer science minor. I took calculus in college and failed each class once before I actually passed. Then I barely passed physics 1 and I finally passed linear algebra after the 5th time. By this point im 5 years into college with only an AA degree and 2 year away from my B.S. I worked my ass off but I have ADHD which causes severe short term memory loss for me, Im a terrible test taker, and cant take on too many classes at once or ill fail them. An astrophysics BS degree would be 3 years away on top of the previous 5. I decided I cant do that. I dont have the money or the time. I switched back to the Comp Sci major and wanted to do a physics minor. The minor itself would have added a year onto my BS comp sci degree and I didnt like that. So now im just doing the Com Sci degree. After watching your video Im a little happier that im not doing astrophysics, but I still wish I could. Unfortunately i dont think an astrophysics degree would ever be worth my time or money especially considering that ill have a comp sci degree. But thats ok, I do want to come back to school some time after im done with my comp sci degree to get some sort of physics degree. I may not do that if it wont help my career tho. I plan to work in the aerospace field as a computer programmer.

I will miss the hope of becoming an astrophysicist… but there’s no way i could ever be one… now i have nothing.

Excellent! This triggers multiple perspectives. Perspective 1: "Would you let an 18 year-old choose your career?" As high school was winding down, I realized I had little idea what professionals, other than teachers, actually did for a living! Even my own father's job was a mystery to me. Clearly, college was necessary, since working at minimum wage wasn't getting me much of anywhere. And study what? My favorite subjects in school were all the STEM classes, though I had little preference between them. The advice I was given was to start college, then make the decision after taking more classes in each area. But if I went to college immediately, I'd only be exposed to professors; teachers who did research. And teaching is not itself a STEM subject! Perspective 2: "There's no rush." In Europe, the notion of the "gap year" has been a part of the culture for over half a century, perhaps longer. Sure, I wanted to travel, but in my family that would mean paying my own way, or wiping away the meager college funds available. I didn't want to spend a year just working a minimum-wage job! So, how could I best spend my time between high school and college, preferably in a way that would let me make a living, gain experience, hopefully travel, and also obtain some education along the way? Perspective 3: "Uncle Sam Wants You!" My chosen path was to enlist in the US Navy. My good high school grades and STEM focus had recruiters falling all over themselves to give me whatever I wanted. That alone reinforced in me the notion that it would be a limited gig, focused on working hard and learning as much as possible. My chosen specialty was to become an electronics technician and a nuclear reactor operator. I won't go into the details of my time in the Navy other than to say I stayed for 6 years total, simply because the Navy kept sending me to fascinating schools followed by orders to challenging duty stations where I could make a real difference. They worked me hard, and I ate it up. And I obtained a work ethic and an attitude toward service that have served me well ever since. When I did leave active duty, I was immediately hired as a nuclear technician at a wage many college grads would envy. I was working with a bunch of other Navy vets with similar history and qualifications. At first I thought: "Who needs college?" Then I was assigned to be the R&D technician to our lead scientist, and that changed everything. I immediately realized the only difference between us was education, and only then did I commit to attending college. Being a veteran, I had extra points in my favor that ensured my application was accepted by my first choice. (I was also accepted by two other great schools, but wanted to stay local.) I also had several financial advantages going in, perhaps the best reasons to wait between high school and college: - Being a veteran, I had the GI Bill. It paid nearly all my tuition. - Being in the US Navy Reserves, I was well-paid for a weekend a month and two weeks of service in the summer. That covered my books and food. - My employer offered to hire me for any odd hours I had available during school, and full-time during breaks. That handled everything else, with some left over. I did one of the heaviest Bachelor's degrees in history (after I graduated they added 3 classes and made it a Master's). I was on the "5-year plan". But I could afford it: I graduated not only debt-free, but with cash in the bank equal to a new car. As Matt recommended, I did do lots of undergrad research: Because of my advanced age (24), many assumed I was a grad student or post-doc, and I did nothing to dissuade them from that notion! On two of my projects, I was the only undergrad. The research was both challenging and fun, but the main benefit was a surprise: It made my classes *_extremely_* relevant, meaning far more than just books and exams. That alone is a massive benefit whose value must not be underestimated! As graduation approached, I realized I simply was done with school: I was months from turning 30, I was an Engineer, and I wanted to make things happen in the real world, not the classroom! Perspective 4: "Will it go round in circles?" I've had over 30 wonderful, amazing and awesome years as an engineer! And while my career is far from over, I'm now feeling a deep desire to help make more engineers: I'm considering becoming a High School teacher, not just to teach STEM, but also to give students access to another type of professional: An engineer! So, could it be that teaching *_is_* a STEM subject? One final perspective: "You don't need a PhD to do research!" I've been privileged to do both theoretical and applied research with top engineers and scientists, and I've seen that research used to make products that changed their markets. I've also done other research as a hobby, just because it was an itch I wanted to scratch. I have also volunteered at many technical and scientific conferences, not just to gain free attendance (cha-ching!), but also to get away from the crowds and rub shoulders with folks whose research I admire. I call myself "the BS between the PhDs". If there is one fundamental key, it's to be always learning, always growing, and endlessly curious. If you have that, you'll certainly love your career at least as much as I have loved mine!

Time was right - did a career in aerospace software and systems engineering in Southern California because they liked physics degrees. Retired. Now I can continue learning physics, and it’s damned interesting.

Some good information here for most Ph.D. programs. 1. Research is important. 2. Mathematic is extremely important in the STEM disciplines, but also various disciplines (geography, economics, business, etc etc) If I had the time, I would have answered the question using the standard model presented. I subscribe to a different model, and have even engaged in modeling the 'observation second'. Assuming observation is a force, the energy calculation changes. by adding two observation seconds, Kg * m/s^2 * m remains unchanged. Energy is the observation of the unobservable mass projected as a 2D 'time-distance' into a membrane above the surface of the unobservable mass. Decay is the point-break of mass returning to a single point on the surface of the unobservable mass's shell.... But no time rather be working on drones and bitcoin.

Thanks for sharing. Not at all unlike walking into day 1 of med school. It was suddenly a very different crowd of people. Being smart was suddenly not enough. It took mental and physical toughness. Medicine is my job, but Astronomy is my hobby/passion/love. I was a bad high school student, so the party State Uni I attended had NO astronomy program at all. It didn’t matter what I majored in for med school, prepare for the MCAT and crush it. Little else mattered. Imposter syndrome occurs at school, during residency, and even after finally passing board exams. It takes a long time before you realize that you’re not going to kill anyone.

I like Astrophysics and even audited an Astrophysics class in college. But, honestly most of the high end math is beyond my skill level or even interest in learning. The concepts however make perfect sense to me and I loved learning the information. It was probably one of the best classes I took in college and since i was not being graded there was no pressure which made it super relaxing to just learn lol. All my poor physics buddies were being graded though so harder on them. Course I have a love of science as my Undergrad degree was Geology and my MS in Geochemistry. I still have my note book from that Astrophysics class which tells you how much I valued it overall! Super informative Matt and totally true!

the main question people should ask themselves to define if the field really relates to them is: '' how often do you ask ''how'' and how often you ask ''how many'' ''' - Numbers are language. and we are curious creatures whose'' self-protection'' comes above all. we dig into explaining the current existing situation to have the ability to control it/save humanity ( that maybe ever in history happened before ) but the thing is we only use our senses (seeing, hearing, tasting, touching ) and maybe the way we use them shows us skewed reality and remain us with unsolving questions.
