It's not surprising that there's a lot of interest in the topic of getting a good job in astronomy.  Every time I mention in on our podcast or in a stream., there are lots of responses and questions.   We also live in a time where the value of a college degree is under great scrutiny.  Are they worth the money they cost to get?  Is the value a good return on investment?  What sorts of jobs can one get with a degree versus without one? Let's discuss this on our first Astronomy Coffee Hangout in quite a while.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
