Job in NASA after M.Sc in Astronomy

Hi I have completed M.Sc in Astronomy now I want to get Job in NASA ?

[Arun Vats]

Ok fine, but it is not enough degree to get job in NASA as the mini eligibility is engineering. Although, NASA has specific reservation for non American candidates, yet remember, getting into NASA is not a child's play as it has been depicted that on an average, just 1% of the filed applications are selected.
That is why, the engineers spend years of training before they can contribute to a space project. But if you want to try for job in NASA then there is no issue.

Eligibility for NASA:

1. To be an astronaut at NASA you need to Specialize in Aeronautical/ Aerospace engineering but people with high expertise and extraordinary skills can only make up their way to NASA.

2. Besides this, candidates have to go through a long selection procedure.

I’m an M.Sc graduated student. I was complete My M.Sc in Astronomy. On basis of My Degree in NASA any job is available for M.Sc student with Astronomy?
