Right now I'm a year into online college for computer programming and database. I'm worried about job security as alot of jobs are getting outsourced to India and I am deeply interested in other fields. Not only this, but everything in the programming world is boring. Cubicle jobs for big greedy businesses and there's nothing you can really do in programming to make yourself stand out from others. Every piece of code you write has already been written by someone else before. Not only this, but I don't want a job where I will be staring at a computer screen for the next 20+ years.
I've gotten into astronomy in the past year and love it. I bought an Orion XT8 telescope and frequently come here for questions regarding accessories and so on. I've had an interested in space since I was 7 years old. I'm now interested in a possible career in astronomy.
What type of jobs and pay are there for a person with an astronomy degree? Has anyone else here majored in astronomy? I'm just skimming the surface of this subject right now but before I do another 2-3 years of college and am about to finish, I would like to know if a different career area is for me. Anyone got information on an astronomy degree or good websites? I appreciate any responses and help.
