Answer 2

Professional astronomers with Ph.D.s usually work at universities either as professors or as researchers. Some work for NASA. Some may also work for aerospace design companies (like Boeing) but I think those hire more aeronautical engineers rather than astronomers. Some work at observatories.

Those without a PhD (bachelor's or master's) might work in an observatory but they wouldn't be doing the "real" research, but rather helping out the astronomers with the PhDs. Others work for NASA. Still others work in museums and planetariums or are otherwise involved with public education (even journalism).

I'll use myself as an example: I have a master's in astronomy. Straight from grad school I went to work in the planetarium field because I wanted to go into astronomy education instead of astronomy research. Now I'm working on my doctorate in science education and working full-time as a college professor in physics and astronomy, and I run the college's planetarium.

Answer 3

Most professional astronomers work as college professors. Some are observatory directors or something like that, but most are employed primarily as teachers who may or may not also do research.
