Hi Daniel
There are several options available to you. Of course, if you are passionate about space, then I recommend working as an astronomer or a space scientist (both are different). Otherwise you can also go into teaching (at high school level) or do a Master's and a PhD and become an academician if you are passionate about research and exploring the unknown.
You can also work in related fields such as climatology, space weather or work in planetariums. Furthermore with the advances in private sector aerospace companies, there is a scope to work in the private sector as well.
