Accounting to Astronomy?
I am earning my masters in accounting and then I am commissioning into the air force. I was enlisted for a while active duty, and I have been in the reserves while in school so I want to capitalize on that. Anyway, I don't pretend to be a connoisseur; however I have an honest passion to learn as mush as possible in astronomy. I have taken a few classes as electives and supplemented my classes with a lot of extra reading.
Anyway, Once I commission, what steps should I take so that I can eventually earn a PhD in astronomy. I assume I should take as many physics and astronomy classes while I'm in the Air Force and when I retire, apply for PhD candidacy.
I'll be 43 when I retire, will that make it harder to get accepted.
Can I slowly earn it while I'm in the service?
Thank you

I am not sure about the process, but you should know that when earning degrees in astronomy, you are required to take more than twice the amount of physics courses than astronomy courses. I wanted to major in astronomy but I hate a lot of physics that isnt involved directly with astronomy so I am dropping it now sadly.

Theres a lot of work in Astronomy and as the other guy said, Physics is one.
Someone on this site is studying it, and said it takes about 8 years all together.
Also Jobs in Astronomy are really rare, unless you live in the States (If you do, you're lucky)
I wanted to study Astronomy as i have loved it for ages, but because of the sparse jobs around me i have decided to Accounting, and then Astronomy on the side.
Good luck in whatever you do.

i'm humanist/athesit, bu can supply an the two compelling factor. Why is this left in basic terms to Christians? permit anticipate, and this could be a marginally super assumption, that i ought to instruct our universe became divinely created- the two spontaneuos introduction or inteligent layout. This nonetheless grants 0 perception as to what faith has this being properly pointed out, or if any have even. This ends up in 2 ideas a million- Christianity isn't entirely incorrect as a results of fact technology has shown a lot of its claims to be incorrect. it is incorrect as a results of fact of its self and inner contradictions. Take only "thou shall no longer kill" and the countless chapters (quite leviticus) the place god instructions you to take action. 2- Proving the existance of a author does no longer something to help in the two sciences or theology. The attempt could only be halted suitable now. we would desire to, a minimum of, safeguard an agnostic view on the universe
