How difficult is it to become an astrophysicists, and is it worth it?

On average, how much schooling is required for this profession? If one were to graduate with a bachelor’s in physics, is there a specific degree for astronomy to pursue when going to grad school? Is the field in demand nowadays? While I have a passion for the field and that’s the reason why I plan on pursuing it, I also understand that i’ll likely go into some debt. Does an astrophysicist job pay well enough to get said debt paid off somewhat quickly?
