I'd also like to know since I want to major in astrophysics.

Save yourself the heartache, the both of you. Find something else to do.

That is?

Commercial purposes are for plebs.

Is a math PhD for Pure Math a meme?

I started with astrophysics. Went to hydromechanics, then electrodynamics, and then math general, and now photonic engineering. Just shop around. You'll find a home.
James Diaz
What the fuck user. That doesn't sound like a reliable option at all.

>currently doing my PhD in theoretical cosmology
I'm trying to network and secure a job within research, but it's fucking difficult
I am interested in applied work too (like engineering, rocket science, programming etc)
so I won't kill myself if I don't get to work with astrophysics

What your asking essentially amounts to "What viable commercial purpose does mathematics have?". Physics is probably the most highly valued general degree. Incredibly easy to get a job in so many areas they are too numerous to list on here.
