I am graduating college with a degree in business soon. Lately though I've been thinking I'd really enjoy working as a newscaster/meteorologist for a local news station. Does anyone know how to break into this field? Does it require a degree in communications, etc? I do not have time for an internship, since I'm about to graduate. I live in Philadelphia but am willing to relocate for work. Any input would be appreciated!

I would suggest a broadcasting school. I don't think you can just apply for a boardcasting job.
My son was a radio disc jockey and he went to a boardcasting school in FL, but there must be others. Since you will have a degree in business, why not combine that with news reporting and do a business column for your local newspaper - that will get you started.

I'm not 100% sure. A friend of mine has a daughter who was a newscaster at small local stations. She started off with a communications/journalism degree and had internships. That's how she got her foot in the door. If there are other ways, I don't know.
You can do an internship by the way even if you've graduated. It just means you'll be paid less and it will be for a fixed time period.
