How difficult is it to find a career after graduating from an astronomy major?

I really enjoy my physics class and I want to major in astronomy, but am not sure what I want to do with it after college. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find a career that I will really love.

What should I expect from upper level math?

I love math and I definitely see myself involving it in my career. How does upper-level mathematics, specifically calculus, differ from math I have encountered in high school, my highest being AP Calculus? And which paths have more challenging math?

Is physics required if you're a cs major in college?

I was told that as a cs major, you are required to take a few physics classes but I don't really see the correlation between physics and cs so I'm not really sure.

Courses in high school

A lot of colleges recommend that students take all three fundamentals of science (biology, chemistry, physics), however I'm looking into doing AP Biology instead of doing physics since biology is more related to my field of interest. Will that affect anything when I'm applying to college?
