Yeah getting a ~50% yearly salary bump and all I have to do is stare into the cosmic abyss? I'm in
No, you look at huge tables of data and do differential equations all day trying to figure out how anything relates to anything
Yo I'd do that shit for free lol, I love differential equations and data science. Where do I sign up?
Damn dude don't scab
Also observatories tend to publish their data blobs for free, so if you have some textbooks to learn wtf is happening and how to apply it you can grab the data and do some amateur astrophysics
I'm currently working on this part, lol. Currently trying my best to teach myself quantum mechanics before the semester starts. But for astrophysics I'd really need to add general relativity to the picture, which I'm down to learn but it all takes time.
Plus I'm trying to learn like 5 other things ~~because I have squirrel brain~~ that are a bit closer to home than astrophysics.
