Career Opportunities
Majoring in a physical science, such as this Astrophysics and Planetary Geology degree, sets you up for a wealth of possible careers because you will become an excellent problem solver. Working for or with NASA as they move into the 2010s and beyond is only one of the many possibilities. People with similar degrees also work as writers, doctors, lawyers, and engineers.
* Physics degree holders are in the top 2 scoring groups of majors on the MCAT (2003 statistics)
* NASA expects not to have enough people to replace those who will be retiring in the next 20 years. NASA funds missions to study the Earth as well as astronomical objects.
* News outlets need science journalists, and movies often employ scientists as consultants.
* Staff for Members of Congress and patent lawyers need technical and scientific backgrounds.
Becoming an Astrophysics and Planetary Geology major will open up a world (or even a universe!) of possibilities for you after you leave Columbus.
