Astronomers are generally paid around 138,000 dollars a year. This depends whether they are working in the public or private sector and who they are working for.
There is no such thing as an "unskilled astronomer". You can be an amateur astronomer if you have an interest in astronomy; you can even build your own telescope, and make important astronomical observations. And most of the comet hunters are amateur astronomers; the "real" professional astronomers don't bother to search for comets, because they know that so many of us "amateur astronomers" and hobbyists are looking. Obviously, an amateur astronomer doesn't get paid; outside of university settings, there are very few professional astronomers who get paid to do astronomical work.
I believe such an astronomer would have a hard time finding a paid job; he would do it as a hobby, mainly.
There is no limit for a salary or the payment for an astronomer. The bigger you discover, the more you get paid. So there is no limit.

You aren't, technically speaking, required to attend college at all to become an astronomer. However, if you want to be hired as an astronomer and get paid as opposed to doing it as a hobby and buying all your own equipment, you should expect to minimally get a 4-year bachelor's degree in Astronomy or possibly Physics.
