    Hello, I've been looking at this course lately and it seems like the perfect course for me! I could go on and get a phd in astrophysics then. That's all well and good and I'd have a great time in college, but I want to be able to get a job too! Are there demand for physicists/astrophysicists? And where? Thanks

    If that's what you want to do, then go and do it.

    Physicists, engineers, mathematicians and the like are always in demand. Everywhere. For the simple reason that there is a scarcity of numerate people in the world.

    Where could you get work after a degree in astronomy and space science, other than ESA or NASA?

    Wouldn't they be full up with other people with better qualification?

    The real world is no so one-dimensional. Physicists find themselves working in pretty much every aspect of science (and beyond).
