Is there any careers in astronomy other than just being an astronomer?
I really want to change my major to astronomy, but the only thing that is stopping me is the math. Im not good at math and i dont enjoy it. However i was wondering if there was anything else i could do in astronomy? Maybe an assistant to a astronomer? Does anyone know?

There are other things you can do with a degree like that, but they are all going to have a lot of math. My astronomy program required me to take calc 3, differential equations 1 & 2, and a few others.

You’d need a PhD in astronomy to get a job as an astronomer, and if you wanted to go to grad school in astronomy, you should be majoring in physics. With a bachelors in astronomy, you could teach high school, maybe get a job at a museum, or maybe get a job as a research assistant. I know a few people who have jobs as research assistants, but they’re hard to find because it’s cheaper to hire a grad student to do the same work. Your best bet would be to get a job with NASA, a large lab, or an observatory. These jobs are few and far between, so you’d have to be wiling to move.
Astronomy is a subfield of physics, so yes, it’s going to require a lot of math – at least calculus I and II, probably linear algebra and differential equations.
