I am a 22 yr old girl. I just went back to college and I am double majoring in aeronautical engineering and astronomy. I am little confused as how to strt getting internships and such in my field. Also, I don't really know how to go about having a career in astronomy. I do realize that i'll be in school for the next 10 years atleast. I am just a little confused and need feedback :smile:
 
Do you want to do observation, or theoretical/computational? Either way the best way is to start talking to your professors about research work. Start looking into who is working on research projects that interest you and contact them.
 
If probability is your cup of tea look into astrostatistcs.
