Any astrophysicists or astrospace engineers here?

I am currently an accountant working in public accounting and I am miserable. I was curious if anyone here works in either field by chance and could provide some input. Considering changing careers. Thanks.

Subtle I work for the public brag

That's a lateral?

Thousands are employed by public accounting firms. Nothing to brag about unless you’re a manager or partner, which neither was mentioned above.

Just because accounting and astrophysics starts with an A doesn’t mean you can just switch to that career

Should be plenty of overlap there

Apply for the LSU Accounting PhD program and become a college professor. A lot easier than astrophysics.

Lol…I doubt anyone with those credentials would be lurking around and LSU message board??

Would be nice to be a professor. I just don’t enjoy accounting in any way. I do like finance though (the markets, debt and equity securities, etc.)

Seems a bit more realistic than becoming an astrophysicist

Strannix and Hurricane Mike are astrophysicists

No, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

It is hard but not impossible

My son is. He loves what he does, but engineering school is very difficult and Astro/aero E is the “hard” engineering school.

In many circles, I am considered a self taught expert bottle rocket launcher. What do you need to know.

you’re an accountant and you want to be an astrophysicist. I’m a contractor and I want to be a neurosurgeon

Honest question... how skrong is your math game? Clearly as an accountant it's not awful, but is it that strong of a suit? And i feel someone pointed out, those fields always need a budget cruncher, so you can get an insight before going balls deep in the field. Unless it's wildly illegal, I'll never tell someone not to pursue something they're passionate about.

I say go for it!
But this reads like you smoked a big fatty after a hard day with no xmas bonus and conjured up this idea of becoming an astrophysicist out of nowhere.
