I love astronomy, and I can say that my passion for it really drives me. I don't think words can really express my love and fascination for astronomy which I'm sure is the case for many people as well. However, I am seriously considering majoring in astronomy and physics. But how practical is it? It seems like a huge risk that I'm taking just to end up jobless and realized I wasted all these times....What can I do as a career with such majors?
It's hard. Very very very very hard. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't a math fanatic. You have to REALLY LOVE MATH, and be pretty much gifted.
It can be practical.

You have to be really devoted. It's a fascinating subject, but overall, it's tedious to learn. I switched to Anthropology because the math was ridiculous. I'm not that smart. If you're in love with math, and great at it, go for it.
