Thread: Career in Astrophysics / Cosmology

Hi all, i'm hoping for some input from anyone who feels they are in a position to give. I'm sure there are others around here who might be interested in any advice given.

I am considering going to University to study in the fields of Astrophysics and Cosmology - but, am doing a little research before hand. Could anyone clarify the oppurtunities available to someone who has a Diploma/Masters etc in this field? That is to say, when i walk out of the University with my Degree, or whatever it may be, what then? What does the average student go on to do? What is the ideal, and what is the likely, in terms of employment.



Thanks in advance.
