Astronomy - Helpful Information

Things to know

With a bachelor's degree, you are rarely qualified to work as an astronomer. You may, however, be qualified to work as a research assistant or technician in a laboratory, planetarium, or institute.

Obtaining a postdoctoral research assignment can help you gain experience before finding a permanent research position.
