    Hi,

    I'm new to this:oI am just wondering if there is anyone that is in/was in the same situation that I am now. I am currently doing an arts degree focusing on languages. I was never too sure whether to do an arts degree or to do physics with astrophysics(big difference i suppose) in the first place when I finished my Leaving Cert. I was hesitant in deciding because the main priority for me at the time was job prospects, even thought this is important to me now too but not as much. I chose the arts degree in the end anyway. It is only really hitting me now though that I really wanted to study astrophysics and that I should have just took the opportunity when I had it. I have one year left in my current degree, so I don't see the sense in dropping out of it.. but i am just wondering if anyone would have any advice on studying astrophysics as a second degree.
    Has anyone done this?done it as a second degree/first degree?:confused: I imagine I would be working, so is there anywhere that would do the course part-time? I know it would be a difficult degree.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated from anyone, thank you.:)
