Do any one know how much meteorologist pay?

Question

how much do meteorologist pay you can give me a link if you want to!

Answer 1

If you're working for a television station or private company, salaries can vary greatly. Entry-level positions usually start at about $20,000 per year. Some of the top broadcast meteorologists make more than $100,000 per year, but those are often the exceptions, rather than the norm. Most meteorologists will be somewhere inbetween in the $45K to $60K range, depending on experience, et al.

If you're working for the National Weather Service, which is a U.S. government position, pay is much more structured. For the rest of this paragraph, you can refer to this table here:

http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html/RUS.asp

This is a US government pay scale. Entry level meteorologists start off at grade 5. However, within about 5 years, you can get up to grade 12, and after you get more experience, lead forecasters make grade 13 money. (The "steps" are increases in pay with experience without necessarily receiving promotions.) So, you would typically start off at somewhere around $28,000 per year, but with experience, you can work yourself up to $60,000 to $80,000 per year. (Some of the Meteorologists in Charge can make it up to grade 14 or 15, but these jobs are more rare.)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

if you work for crap places like Accuweather in PA, you start off at around $20K from what I heard.

If you're on TV, it varies depending on the market you're in. If you're in Boise, ID, prepare to make no more than say $25K to start. In NYC, the most popular meteorologists on-air easily make six figures.

These figures are ballpark and not official. I'm just speaking from experience and knowledge of the field.

Answer 3

that's basically approximately a rule in meteorology that a solid numerical climate forecast is basically for 40 8-72hrs. I shall repeat what some human beings right here mentioned: meteorology is PREDICTING, and predicting destiny. Why do they pay them? because of the fact, if there have been no meteorologists, a airplane could basically approximately a hundred% crash if it ran on solid cumulonimbus cloud. because of the fact constructers be counted on climate forecasts. because of the fact agriculture will count number on wf...etc. etc.
