text: what schooling is required for a carreer in astronomy (or astrology)?   astronomy (science) as with all sciences, you've got to know your math and physics.  if you really are interested, then you will need to take trig and calc i, ii and iii.  (don't be afraid, the names are just scary.)  on a side note, it's pretty hard to get a job as an astronomer.    astrology (voodoo) just read some books.
