Hey, I’m Bel, 19. I want to become an astrophysicist one day, but I can’t afford college yet.
I’ve been reading and learning on my own because I really love the topic, but I’m not sure where to start.
What subjects should I focus on first, and what resources or books do you recommend?

To be an astrophysicist you need to be able to grind optics and make highspeed Polaroid glass film.
Get good at those first. You got to dribble before you can dunk.

Seen the /scg/ FAQ? It explicitly warns against this career, there are no jobs.
>but I can’t afford college yet.
If you got such a degree you would probably live in poverty ever after, unless you took a 90 degreee turn in your career.

Astrophysicists make bank in data science, just like the physicists who went into finance as quants.
