Honestly, though, I think he'll just continue going to school after he finishes his undergraduate degree. I don't know any astrophysicists with just an undergradute degree in physics.

If he continues at this pace, he could probably pick up a Ph.D at 16 and his post-doc at 18. He will probably pick up another Ph.D in something else and that should take him to age 22.

Being that there's not very many lines of work in the private sector for astrophysicists, he will probably spend his life at a prestigious school like MIT or Cal-Tech or something and be a professor there while he publishes papers on his findings.
