I'm talking to people in the Physics/Astronomy department at Sonoma State,
and they are trying to encourage students into the Astronomy track.  It seems
that the number of missions being launched now or planned for the future are
going to start returning data in comming years, but qualified students are
not ENTERING college fast enough to meed the expected demand!  So if this
was you desired major, I'd say stick with it!  You will be in high demand
when you graduate!
