<p>Okay, so I am not really sure what to do here. I have a strong interest in biology, astronomy, and statistics. My current plan is to become a biostatistician, but I would LOVE to do something space-related for a living. I am an applied math major and I don't really find physics all that fun or interesting (have taken 6 physics classes). </p>
<p>I will probably take either biophysics or space physics next semester, but I'm not sure how to really calm my interest in astronomy. I have some deep desire to contribute, but I know bio-statistics would probably be better for me to study to get a good job because money is kind of important at the moment. Is it possible to move from bio-statistics to astronomy related careers later on?</p>
<p>Well, the good thing for you is that statistics is th backbone of all science, so as long as you’re strong in that, you can find work pretty much anywhere you want (with the caveat that you should tailor your skills towards what your secondary area of interest needs). Here’s a couple of links that may be relevant to your interest</p>
<p>I haven’t read the book, and you may already be familiar with the statistical methods in it, but the important bit is of course how these methods matter in astronomy and astrophysics.</p>
