Thanks Michael. It's never too late to get involved in space and astronomy. I'd always wanted to be an astronomer too, but for some reason I took engineering at university because I thought it would be more practical.

I began retuning my career back in 1999 (when I was 28), with Universe Today being my first step, and I'm still at it.

An astronomy degree would only take a few years, and there are all kinds of ways that amateurs can contribute to the field of astronomy. If that's your passion, make it happen.
