Question I'm studying meteorology at college at the moment and i was wondering what the wages/income and the interest income is for a meteorologist?
Answer According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary of meteorologists undergrad/grad was $77,810 a year in 2006. Federal meteorologists earned more. Their average salary was $86,110.
Starting salaries for federal meteorologists only depend on their level of education. Meteorologists in the federal government with a bachelor’s degree and no experience received starting salaries of $27,955 or $34,544 in 2005; the amount depended on their college grades. Those with master’s degrees started at $42,090 or $54,393. Those with Ph.D.'s received $70,280.
