Yep. Wanted to go into astronomy. There are, like, 3 jobs and they're held by greybeards until they pass away.

One day you'll be the greybeard. I have faith in you!

Aw, thanks. I'll definitely get the beard, but not the fancy telescope job, lol. That hand is already dealt and I took another path.

I have a friend who got her dream job running a planetarium.

It's run out of funding and is closing down a couple of years since she got the job. I hope she lands on her feet.
