just goes to show that amateur astronomers come from all walks of life
I'm a librarian, and have been working in a public library for the past 15 yrs (yes I do love my job). I am currently in charge of the reference service. The pay isnt great but the job is very rewarding. Prior to this I did some insurance broking but it wasnt my scene.
I started with a el-cheapo 60mm telescope and fortunately it seemed to be of ok quality. I now own an 8" GSO dob and will be getting some quality binos soon (prolly just 7x50s).
WHERE DID THE WARM WEATHER GO???
