Be prepared and realistic – as with many careers you must be ready to study and work hard, and it can take a few years to build all the skills you need so you need to be patient.
There are few people who make it to the very top in astronomy..
The GCSE Astronomy course is widely recognised as being a very demanding subject compared with other science GCSEs, but because of that it is very popular with students who want to be stretched..
By studying the cosmos beyond our own planet, we can understand where we came from, where we are going, and how physics works under conditions which are impossible to recreate on Earth.
In astronomy, the Universe is our laboratory.
A major in astronomy provides a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, and most gain experience with computer programming and statistics as well.
This can be an attractive package of skills for employers.
In fact, on some lists Astronomy is one of the top 10 college degrees for starting salaries..
GCSE Astronomy is a fascinating subject that can provide students with an opportunity to learn about the wider universe and gain a better understanding of our place in the cosmos.
However, it can be difficult to achieve the highest mark possible, particularly when faced with challenging course material..

Astronomy is fun and interesting and a great vehicle for learning physics. In fact
At one point Robert Oppenheimer required all the physicists working for him prior to the Manhattan Project to learn astronomy because he felt astronomy (rightly so) to be sort of a revolution in physics that changed one's perspective.
I teach Astronomy GCSE so I am a bit biased.. Yes
Do study it; it is a good course and enjoyable and that will certainly help you get a good grade. It will also help you in other courses such as :
Maths and Physics. It is not an alternative to doing Science GCSEs.
