What career options are there for astrophysics majors? Is a post-grad degree necessary?

I’ll be graduating next spring with a degree in Astrophysics, and minors in Art and Math. I’m not sure whether my GPA is going to survive very well (E&M is trying to kill me) so I don’t know whether I’ll be able to get into a good grad school. If I don’t go to grad school, I don’t really know what my options are. Is there any market for a Bachelors in Astrophysics?
I’ve thought about museum work, but I don’t know what I would have to do to go about it. Would scientific magazines take anyone without journalism classes?

Can you suggest a good primer on astrophysics for the lay person?

I’m looking for a set of references and/or websites that could give me a basic course in "astrophysics for dummies". I find the topic fascinating, and am currently working on a sci fi novel and would like to do some serious research first.

I’ve noticed that the Dummies series of books publishes a book called "Astronomy for Dummies" but I’d like to make sure that this really isn’t just "Stargazing for Dummies" or some really primitive treatise on the subject.
