Concern by Timonis: Why the vast majority of girls do not like astronomy?
I am owning a challenging time discovering a female that likes astronomy and is also a incredibly hot chick!

Nonsense. All the incredibly hot chicks dig astronomy.
What do you consider? Answer below!

is that like with stars and stuff??

Spelling counts so I’d work on that a little bit. Second, you study mathematics and physics in high school and then go to a college with a program (MIT, Princeton, etc). Then you get a graduate degree in the area of most interest to you.

PhD is a plus…

Well technically all you need is eyes. That’s all the ancient people had, though today you will probably need at least a telescope. I have a great Career in astronomy. I take classes of 30 or so little kids out with my telescope and I show them Jupiter and Mars. I make about $ 60-100 every clear night. not bad for an hour or two of work that is amazing fun! I have a BS in Physics, but have learned everything I know about astronomy from reading and my own observations.

Be smart! Be very, very smart!
Do your homework and ask for more!
Do not be afraid to question or challenge everything!
But if you do always have a suggestion for something better!!!
Have fun and be safe.

What is giving your tenth?
If you want a career in astronomy you just need to get paid for it, otherwise it’s called a hobby.

At what level? Obviously, at the university level you’re going to need degrees in both astronomy and physics…certainly PhD level in at least one of them. In high school, take all of the highest level math and science classes you can, including calculus if it’s available (though you can easily pick up calculus in your first year of college).
To say the field is math-intensive would be an understatement.

I don’t know what “tenth” is, so I’m guessing you don’t live in the US. I don’t know what the requirements are elsewhere, but here in the US if you want to be a scientists and do real research, you have to have a Ph.D. in astronomy or astrophysics. What you get for a bachelor’s degree doesn’t matter as much, although a degree in physics or some other science is helpful for getting into grad school (not all colleges even offer a degree in astronomy or astrophysics, in fact MIT doesn’t – I went there for my undergrad, in physics). If you don’t have a Ph.D. you could get a job working at a telescope, but you wouldn’t get to do any research, you’d just be like a lab tech – making sure everything works right. Without a PhD, though, you could go into science journalism or education, or management.

they exist.. in few numbers… and they keep it hidden.

The problem lies in crap like American idol and role models like the pieces of **** you find on the E entertainment channel.
Hey, let’s face it- it’s just easier to wait tables then to get a degree in something interesting like physics.

Same reason they think computers and Star Trek are for geeks. Something to do with hormones.

What evidence is there of that?
I certainly haven’t seen any.

That’s not true. Check out your local physics department. Or go to the next AAS meeting. Tons of women there.

Because hot chicks rather spent time on hot stuffs. Astronomy is cool stuffs.

That’s because their brains are a third the size of a ours. It’s science.

There is minority who do like astronomy.You can find them here.But you can forget about finding a hot chick who likes astronomy.They are some of the dumbest people on the planet.They are only thinking about tiny little things and problems and getting the attention of men.
