Hey guys, im currently studying civil engineering. But my real passion is space flight and cosmology.. Can a civil engineer be used in those field in any ways? What should i do guys?

OP don't listen to the trolls

Engineers are extremely useful for the Space industry - How do you think they design those launch platforms?

I'm a Physicist and I'm quickly learning that Engineers have a lot more choice in the Space job market than I do

This is a good example for cosmology. For space flight applications, you can work on space center or launch site facilities. And for more ambitious applications, a quick google search brought up space hotels, or you could design muh moon base. You can certainly find something.

What are you even talking about? Space industry is all Aerospace Engineering with some EE and barely any Physics PhDs. Only departments where there are more physicists than engineers are government funded projects studying astrophysics data or similar. All spacecraft design is done by engineers for legal reasons.

Pretty sure physics is the foundation of that entire industry, Bub

Except Physicists do not study orbital mechanics, Aerospace Engineers do, stop being such a blatantly clueless undergrad.

Yes they do you fucking moron, how else do you think they built the GPS? Physics undergrad barely touch on any of those topics retard, AeroE studies them in-depth.

Stop replying to me, come back when you pass your intro courses and try to enter the job market.

Orbital mechanics is fucking easy, just list all relevant forces and supply initial values then solve the system of equations for x. No surprise engineers don't understand such basic concepts.

This. OP take more solid mechanics, structural analysis, and finite element analysis courses. Skip those elective classes on slope stability or highway pavement design if you must.
