there are many different paths towards astronomy, undergrad degrees in physics, math, astronomy, astrophysics, chemistry, geology, computer science etc. can all lead to astronomy. If you want to be a research astronomer you will need a Ph.D and possibly 1 or 2 post-docs. astronomers are not in high demand because there are so few positions so you need a lot of education to break into the field.
