I took an astronomy class once in college that I found to be extremely interesting. Still, it could have been one of those courses of study where people react, “How would anyone ever make a living with astronomy?”
I remember learning about how astronomers can determine the age of a star by analyzing the light waves through a gas spectrometer. I can’t tell you for sure how people who study astronomy make a living, but I can say that the class instilled awe and wonder within my own mind about the science of the galaxy.
