How much math is involved in advanced astonomy, physics and astrophysics?

My Science average has always been 100 but my math has always been in the high 80s low 90s, i am looking to pursue a career in astrophysics and astronomy, how hard will the math get. will my struggle in math possibly prevent me from getting a career in science? What math do you think is primarily used in astrophysics? Thanks!

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?

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?
