Question
Hi, I'm going to be graduating from highschool next year and I'm considering a career in the field of meteorology,do you have any advice to offer about getting into this line of work? Or are there particular areas within this field that are interesting to you, or that are showing promise of development in the future? I would really appreciate any help or advice you can offer, thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Johanna:


I think you will find the field of Meteorology to be challenging, exciting and rewarding.

For some info, take a look at these two urls:

http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/schools.html

http://www.ametsoc.org/AMS/pubs/careers.html

You should also plan to visit a NOAA weather station near your home and talk to the Meteorologist in charge.

Good luck!!
