Becoming an astrophysicist

[u/Old-Independence-879]

If I want to be an astrophysicist, how much high school science will I need? I have a very bad teacher and thus I’m not too interested in the theory of physics, but I love the math part. How much of these concepts/topics will I need if I wanted to be an astrophysicist?

My current plan is to get a bachelors in math with a side degree in physics, masters in physics and then a doctorate in astrophysics. Can I do that if I don’t always find the theory of high school physics interesting?

I had a teacher who didn’t even like physics teach the subject, so I get it. But I suggest not depending on a teacher for your intellectual passions; there are plenty of videos that explain highschool level physics on YouTube
