I know, but Rocket Science is one of the easiest fields to get a PhD in that involve Physics. I never understood that figure of speech.

Most work is done in Physical Chemistry now, constructing nanotube, graphite chips for computers, exciting electrons into conduction bands for solar cells. We should say "Smart then a Phys Chemist."

I guess that doesn't sound as good......well I got my degree in Astrophysics, so that sounds pretty smug LOL

How many times did you have to explain the differences between "Astronomy" and "Astrology" yet? :P

Only once, I'm working to be a high school teacher, and when I did volunteer work I essentialy covered, and restructured the high school astronomy chapter (They don't cover Habitable Moons in our Solar system! Or Jupiters 4 big moons). I had to tell the teacher that I can't do the same for astrology because I don't know constellations, but he wasn't ignorant, he was just happy that I could cover astronomy so well.

I'm astonished. Our Astronomy teacher had to do it for at least 40% of the class in our first lesson and in many advisory discussions with parents (Astronomy was an optional course at my old school, so parents were invited to discuss the course with the teacher before enlisting their kids)^^
