Astrophysicists develop the kind of data analysis techniques in high demand in a wide variety of industries, including but not limited to internet companies (Facebook, Google, etc), financial companies, and consulting firms. The high dimensionality of the problems in astrophysics mirror these fields really well, so the fit is actually pretty tight.
