Meteorology (degree/job question)? Hello! I am an undergraduate Meteorology student trying to determine which minors appeal most to employers (for Operational and Research jobs). My professor really stressed the importance of a GIS minor no matter what, and even said to look more into that field than Meteorology, which disappointed me. (Is the job market for Meteorologists that bad?) Also, he told me it is extremely difficult to get into the NWS, and that NSSL is all "volunteer" jobs. Is this true? I'm staying positive despite what my professor said...and the main question is which minors are best for the operational and research sides?

Question about Meteorology -- the job? Alright I have a question for anyone who has any experience in the job field of meteorology...i am looking to pursue a career in it (possibly). I like the subject itself enough but how would you say the job is, as in a personal account of what the reality of it is. There has to be one person on yahoo who has experience in it. Honest answers that are NOT sarcastic would be appreciated. Thank you. Basically the question was that if you have had experience in this field, what is your personal account of it? I don't plan on going into the TV aspect of it, I would much rather study weather patterns and relay information. Thank you for the careerbuilders link, by the way. I'll look into that.

Why am I good at physics and hopeless at maths? Usually aptitude at physics and maths go together; you're either good at both or hopeless at both, Newton, Einstein and Hawking being cases in point. At school, Uni and various jobs I've consistently been quite good at physics and hopeless at maths; I'd be much more successful at jobs like electronics and meteorology, both of which I've been employed at, if my maths didn't hold me back. Is anybody else like this and is there an explanation?

Interested in a career in meteorology? Hey everyone. I'm a sophomore in high school now, and have been becoming really interested in two things: the weather and local TV news. I've been thinking of maybe shooting for a career in broadcast meteorology. I love to give presentations, love watching (and kind of studying!) our local newscasts, love studying about the atmospheric conditions, and most equation-type and graphing-type math is fairly easy for me. However, I'm not so great at chemistry, but really only because my teacher isn't so great. Btw, I'm in Algebra II this year, and am taking Chemistry and Biology for my sciences. Anyways, I'm probably going full IB (International Bacculaureate, kind of like AP and Honors stuff) next year. I'm planning on taking the 2-year Physics IB course for my junior & senior years. What classes should I try to take while I'm in high school, do during summers and for extra-curriculars, and once I get to college, what kinds of stuff do I need to do? I'm interested in LSU, which is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'd like to be able to stay in that market area for a job if I can, but I do understand that broadcast meteorology can really "take you places," and that's OK... Also, does anyone know the yearly salary, work hours, and that kind of stuff for the TV meteorologists in the Baton Rouge metro area? Thanks for the help!!!

Why can meteorologists be wrong so consistently and still keep their jobs? Now I know that meteorology is notoriously inexact, and the accuracy drops very quickly to next to nothing once you look more than a week or so into the future, but our local meteorologist has to be an idiot. I wish I could get paid in the high five figures to be wrong about the weather on a nightly basis. I live in the middle of South Carolina, a relatively warm and snow-less place, most of the time. We had gotten a light dusting earlier this year, and he predicted that, tonight, there would be five to ten inches of accumulation in the upper 25-30% of the state, three to five in the middle area, one to three in the lower middle, and a dusting down closer to Charleston and the coastline. This was at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Every three hours for the next 12 hours, the 'amount of snowfall' graph moved slowly but surely towards the northwest part of the state, till Columbia (basically smack in the middle) was left on the very trailing edge of "coating," which is code for 'not enough to have fun." It is now 2:52 in the morning, it is still raining, and the temperature isn't even bordering on freezing; it's like 36 degrees outside (nothing even REMOTELY close to the predicted sixteen.) So I ask again: Why can meteorologists be wrong so consistently and still keep their jobs?

Meteorology Career and the Navy.? I am about to go to MEPs and all that. I know that you pick a job once you take the ASVAB, and see what is avaliable for you. Lets just say I earn high enough that I can have just about any job I like. I am interested in the Science field. I have read the summary on the Navy website and alot of it deals with Nuclear work and some Meterology and Oceanography. My question is, if you pick this job do you have to work with Nuclear and go to nuclear school, or can you just work with Meteorology and Oceanography.

Can someone explain, using as many layman's terms as possible, what a tornado is and how it forms?

Can anyone give the ideas about this ? Do I need to work alone in the lab? Cause I give the important factor of my life balance as well. Thanks in advance ; )

Which career is in more demand, forensic sciences, meteorology or geology? I was just wondering, because i heard there isnt much demand for forensic sciences and that you have to be a cop before you go into forensics. (I wanted to go into lab work actually, no pathology for me...). So i just sort of threw that out, and i became interested in meteorology and geology. Basically, i was just wondering when you get out of post-secondary- which one are you guaranteed a job asap? Like, will they be asking you to work with them or will you have to job hunt because of the profession you chose to study? Any info on this would be much appreciated. Im currently in high school, so i was just wondering.

Do I need both an NWA and AMS seal to be a TV Weathercaster? Or is NWA enough? I'm an undergraduate student studying TV Journalism, and considering adding Broadcast Meteorology to my studies to give me a competitive edge as a reporter. The program would not qualify me for an AMS seal, due to a lack of Calculus classes. Should I spend time working for the NWA certification? Or do I really need the AMS seal to get any sort of job?

Can anyone tell me about the Army MOS 13W Field Artillery Meteorological Crewmember? I eventually want to pursue a career in meteorology. However, for now, I want to enlist in the U.S. Army.

Thanks.
