Weather Jobs

#1 Postby STORMSURGE » Sun Sep 12, 2004 10:22 pm

What would be your ideal job IF you could work in a weather sense?

I personally would love to be in on the action either as a reporter in the field for FOX, or working for TWC as cameraman for Stephanie Abrahms.

If I got the FOX job, I'd be replacing Geraldo by the way. so you guys would enjoy that right?

I love having weather as my hobby, but, none of the weather jobs pay enough, IMO---it's kinda sad. The ideal job for me would be to analyze satellite.

When I started college, I took a academic-orientation class (Class to help decide on a major). One of the homeworks was to interview someone in the field you were interested in. So I chose Bob Breck (Didn't know he was that short) to interview. He basically convinced me to forgo a meteorology degree. He said the only money in this field was in front of the camera.

OK Matthew. get over here.

Right now it's a mere 19 hours a day, ~15 of 'em sandwiched between 4 computers. Then the flood and the tornadoes come and it really gets wet and wild.

Don't bring a significant other as you won't see her for days. Drink a gallon of coffee daily, nap between advisories, learn to live on PB sandwiches and answer about 60 emails a day. It's fun.

Oh, you won't get to be "some one" but you do get very sleepy and double vision while awake :roll:
