Nope, I'm a systems and network administrator. It is a technical background though.
Something I really enjoy with astronomy is having to manually locate objects in the sky with maps and setting circles and star hopping without using a GOTO or similar. This is strangely satisfying and addictive even if the object is unimpressive and almost invisible. The harder and longer it takes to find, the more I enjoy it when I'm successful.
I love doing everything the manual hard way, I find you learn your subjects a lot quicker if you aren't seperated by another layer of automation. And learning about the universe is learning about the origins of life etc. Which I find more satisfying than what any religion could offer me.
