Nursing would offer much more job security than astronomy. There is a need for nurses that isn't going away real soon while astronomers aren't in as much demand.

Consequently, the salaries available are probably better in nursing as well.

The only way going in to nursing would help you is if you didn't do anything with astronomy anymore. The two are in no way related, obviously.

I did an apprenticeship in high school (junior and senior year), where I went to school for half the day and took medical related "jobs" and classes. These included getting my CNA, working in a lab, radiology, physical therapy, etc. Does your school district/city offer anything like this? I have found it very helpful, and kept my CNA job for 5 years, until I graduated from college.
