Question
Hi Donald. I finished a degree in English Literature a year ago and have always wanted to write. I also have a strong interest in the weather and would love to combine the two. Is it too late to get into meteorology? Can i fast track since i already have a degree or will i have to go back to University?  

Answer
Hi Eilidh

I'd say it depends upon your math & physics courses you've taken, if any. You'd probably be best asking the potential school you would want to go to. Take a look at:

which should help you decide what school to investigaqte first.

Good luck & let me know if you need further help.
