I assume you are a high school student.
The subjects that meterologists really need to excel in are math, chemistry, earth sciences (geology, geography, hydrology, etc.), and physics.
I've placed a link below that will take you to the National Weather Association's listing of colleges and universities that offer bachelors and masters degrees in atmospheric science and meteorology. Get good grades, and when it is time for you to apply to colleges, make sure you choose one with a good atmospheric science program.
Best wishes to you!

You need to take a degree in Meteorology or Earth Sciences and get at least a BA and then see what the AMS requires. That would qualify you for an entry level job or to be a TV weather person.

to be a meteorologist you need to be able to lie, lie hard and lie fast. You need to be able to make predictions on the drop of a hat and then change them when the results are nowhere near what was predicted. It also takes the ability to wave your hand in front of an invisible map and laugh at the sport guys lame jokes every night.

You should stare at the sky frequently, and make random guesses at weather conditions, then go on your webcam and record your "segment" and post it on youTube or something.
Then you will be a metereologist :)
Oh and don't worry if you guess wrong...they all do.
Just remember white clouds are good, black clouds are bad.
P.S. - For heaven's sake have a sense of humor people!
