there are different types of astronomers
they include stellar astronomers (study of stars), solar astronomers (study of the sun), galactic astronomers (study of the galaxy), extragalactic astronomers (study of all different galaxies and structure of the universe), and cosmologists (study the origin and evolution of the universe) etc
Additionally, other specialty areas of astronomy exist, which include radio astronomers that study many different objects with the use of radio telescopes and instrumentationalists that specialize in the building of new equipment.
Also one can pursue their career in teaching too as 55% of astronomers work in universities,colleges.. etc
in space agencies such as NASA we have computer engineer,commuication engineers,rocket scientists,mechanical engineers and many

once you ought to ask, then its likely no longer for you. Assuming you're literally not a polymath, there are very restricted job opportunities. once you're in the right 0.5% of the job pool you'll actually be able to land a job. yet provided that this job pool is created from fairly surprising human beings, in case you do not have the interior pastime for it (in which case the earnings would not be an problem) then i might want to respectfully advise you stay away from Astronomy or Astrophysics and stick with Physics. Its no longer basically a question of 1st 3 hundred and sixty 5 days (or maybe 10th 3 hundred and sixty 5 days) earnings. Its also a question of chance fee. You pay for the 8 - 10 years you're in college. With that huge debt your first 3 hundred and sixty 5 days (and 2d and third) earnings will be worse than in case you bypass to artwork in a McJob. ok, I exaggerate slightly. yet getting a PhD is a lengthy extreme priced highway the position the inducement isn't $$. ask AngelaS about what i have written - i'm no longer in this element of technology, yet recruiters have a tendency to make certain their field through rose colored glasses.
