Streamed live on Feb 2, 2023.

Hosted by Tony Darnell.

It's not surprising that there's a lot of interest in the topic of getting a good job in astronomy.  Every time I mention in on our podcast or in a stream., there are lots of responses and questions.

 

We also live in a time where the value of a college degree is under great scrutiny.  Are they worth the money they cost to get?  Is the value a good return on investment?  What sorts of jobs can one get with a degree versus without one? Let's discuss this on our first Astronomy Coffee Hangout in quite a while.
