Question

what kind of degree do u need? what kind of knowledge?

what is the job like?

Answer 1

Meteorologist

Education depends on field. Typically a B.S. in Meteorology or Atmospheric Science is preferred. Strong concentration in mathematics and physics. The mathematics/physics-based programs are required for jobs within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Weather Service. For broadcasting, sometimes a 3-year Certificate in Broadcast Meteorology with a degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field is possible. There are also Earth Science programs that concentrate in Meteorology and Weather Forecasting, as well as other Certificate programs. However, positions with this education background are typically limited to the private sector and broadcasting, in areas such as weather forecasting.

There are many branches including weather forecasting, storm prediction, climatology, atmospheric physics, and many others.

Aviation

Pilots, air traffic controllers, etc. must all have a working knowledge of meteorological conditions.

Marine

Boating, mariners, etc. must have an understanding of nautical and marine weather conditions.

You could become the weather person on TV who always tells the wrong weather! You probably need to go to gypsy school and get a degree in "learning how to bs to people". The job would consist of you sitting around all day in front of a green or blue screen telling people what you think may or may not happen in their neighborhood!
