i don't want to be doctor, dentist, vet, lawyer, banker, engineer, computer technician or whatever to do with programming
i don't know why, but i hate all those jobs that tends to lead to a lot of money
not that i want to be poor
in fact i need money, coming from not so rich family, and i want to have a dog and i want to continue playing piano and violin take lessons and stuff, i want to have a nice house with pool
the thing is i want to be an astronomer, i want to study physics learn all the law up to date and make new ones myself, i want to make amazing theory and win nobel prize
but everyone i talk to has been telling me, or tries to convince me to other jobs because astronomer don't earn good money, and you can't find jobs
is this really true? i am going to get PhD in astronomy, i will study really hard and if i only have the vision that i could be able to do research, look through telescope and scribble down some math equation that i can't possibly imagine now, i really really really want to become one
can somebody please ....i don't know do something about me

It is true that astronomers don't make a great deal of money, and they also don't have very good job security- any given job might only last a few years, so you need to keep looking for new ones. That said, they don't have the lowest wages in existence either.
It also does involve quite a lot of programming these days so you will need to know how to do it.
If you really enjoy it, then go right ahead, and it is possible to live comfortably as an astronomer. As you study along the way, you could find something else you like and end up there. Nobody really knows where they're going to end up.
When I was younger, I really wanted to be one as well. It was only when I went to uni that I found another area of physics that I liked, and ended up there instead. I enjoy it just as much, and I earn more money than most of my lecturers did.

Astronomers do make kind of a lot of money. But don't listen to the people who are trying to tell you that they don't make enough money. Do it because you enjoy it.

I think you will find that astronomers make enough money to be comfortable.
Also note that people with a passion for something are not worried about the money.
