Is a Computer Science Degree a Path to a Career in Astronomy?

Question:
Can I be a radio astronomer while having a computer science degree?
Answer:
As long as your computer science training included a good amount of math and physical science classes and training, a focus on computer science as an undergraduate can be used as a path to a career in astronomy. As astronomy is largely a math and physical science based profession, though, those skills are very important.
