Astronauts are selected from a diverse pool of applicants with a wide variety of backgrounds that include schoolteachers, doctors, scientist, and engineers.
From the thousands of applications received, only a few are chosen for the intensive Astronaut Candidate training program. Including the “Original Seven”, only 321 astronauts have been selected to date.

Most if not all astronughts are miltary pilots with varying degrees in many different fields. But physics is a strong trait I would imagine that all astronaughts learn or study.
