Astronomer
Astronomy is the study of celestial objects and their properties in the
universe. In the field of astronomy is a very difficult field to enter due to the
fact that there are little job openings for astronomers. Also, the average
education level for astronomers is a post-doctoral degree which takes a very
long time and a lot of money to achieve. All that hard work pays off,
however, because the average salary for an astronomer is $100,000
annually.
There are many responsibilities of an astronomer which help them
understand the stars better. One of these responsibilities being the study and
recording of data gathered through the observation of celestial objects.
Another of these duties is to analyze data recovered from studying stars and
other interstellar objects. Developing theories based on this data and
observations is another responsibility of an astronomer. Rather than being a
professional astronomer, one could also pursue a career in the educational
side of astronomy and teach others about the subject as well. Another task of
an astronomer is to measure radio , infrared, gamma, and x-ray emissions
