If you want to be one, find which unis offer physics courses with astronomy related electives. Thats ya best bet. (and yes i know JCU has the astronomy course but i dont like townsville  ) |
You'd have to have your degree first before you could do any of the courses at JCU anyway (except maybe the certificate or diploma courses in astronomy). Whilst we do teach some astronomy in the undergrad physics courses, as an elective, there's really not enough staff in the Centre for Astronomy at present, to teach a full time undergrad course...money, mainly, is the stumbling block.
