Is pursuing my Theoretical Astrophysics PhD worth it?
Long story short-
I have my Master’s in Business Management/Administration. I am continuing my education and am enrolled in my undergraduate for Planetary Sciences, and then planning to pursue my PhD in Theoretical Astrophysics after that.
Job wise, besides becoming a professor essentially, what are the pros and cons? Am I wasting my time? So many thoughts as a spouse and a parent of 2. This has always been my passion, my goal, my dream. But realistically in this day in age, is it worth it? Should I just switch my undergraduate to a Coding degree and or a different field and dive into a more open and readily available/accessible job field — and keep Theoretical Astrophysics as a hobby?
So many thoughts, and just not enough information on anything. I may sound dumb, but I’m thinking about the future of my kids and family along with my own.
