      Astronomy is one of those things that people think they like until they find out it’s mostly math, physics, and chemistry, and looking at cool pictures of space is not directly involved.

      source: astronomy minor. I liked it but being able to discuss the various types of variable starts and plot them in a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is not going to win me any dates.
