    I'm pretty excited that i've finally decided to go ahead and start studying this field :) i've always found weather stuff interesting and I'm planning on starting my associates in science next winter. Anyone out there have a degree in this field?

  3. Back in the day I studied meteorology as part of geography and earth sciences. Interesting stuff. I don't know what it's like now but then, any local, national or international met office was more than happy to send info regarding anything a student asked for.

    It would be a good field... If you get a job with the National Weather Service you can be wrong all the time and still get paid.

    Yea it would be nice to work in a field where you only have to be right 30% of the time.

    I had a teacher a few years back, who was studying meteorology himself. He switched fields when he realized that you have to have a Doctorate to get anywhere. They'll tell you that a bachelors is the "required minimum," but people in the field told him that he would never find any (decent) work if he didn't have a Doctorate.

    I am a little nervous about that honestly I do want to pursue a masters and such in the field but I also don't want to spend thousands of dollars on getting a bachelors degree and then not be able to find a job.

    haha i'm debating on whether or not I should ever really grow up honestly but I figure in order to get a job that would make me happy I should a little bit :) maybe if i get in with the right people I could expose the weather machine and all the secret government b.s. but idk how long I would live after said exposure lol :)
