Pros and cons - being a meteorologist
Hi,
I was looking around at colleges (always like to have an idea of the future,
even if it's 4 years away and can change a lot in that time) and the only
one I could find that offered both meteorology and interior design was the
University of Florida in Tallahassee. I'd like to aim higher than that, but
it doesn't look like I can and still double major in those fields, so I know
I'll eventually have to pick one. So I'd like to know...
1. How much the average meteorologist gets paid (say, behind the scenes on
the Weather Channel or something, not on air)
2. Supply/Demand of meteorologists - not the exact numbers of course, that'd
be next to impossible, just relative. (example there's a high demand for
nurses but a low supply so it's easy to get a job in that field, but a low
demand for actors and a high supply so it's hard to get a job as one)
3. How easy/hard it is to go far as a meteorologist (to get to a point say,
like, Dr. Gregg Forbes on the Weather Channel as a severe storm specialist)
4. What you have to do after college to become one
5. Anything else helpful/reccomendations
