please tell me all the subjects i have to do in highschool to become a meteorologist?

Question

i what to be one

Answer 1

Science
Math
Computer Science/programing
Debate/Public Speaking
English
Media/Journalism

Also, if you really want to get a head start in your possible career in weather field, you may try to become student volunteer at your local National Weather Service Office under the United States Department of Commerce program. It is not easy to get in since they will take college students first. However, I've been able to get three high school students into the program in my career. If you do very well, you will be can be offered a paid position in college and even an offer of a career position as early as one year before you leave college with your degree. Here is a little information and a web link for you. Best Wishes and Good luck!

Student Volunteer Service (Unpaid)

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) offers unpaid training opportunities to students in high school and college. These opportunities provide work experience related to your academic program. The program allows you to explore career options as well as develop your personal and professional skills. As a student volunteer, you will be exposed to the various missions and responsibilities of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Answer 2

I'm glad to hear from an aspiring meteorologist. Excellent question. This is the process. Make sure you complete the full math and physics curriculum in high school. Chemistry and any earth science offered should also be taken. Apply to an undergraduate university which offers meteorology or Atmospheric Science as a major. These schools include the Pennsylvania State University, Texas A&M University, Oklahoma State University, Florida State University, Washington University, and others. While in college you should continue with mathematics to include vector and tensor analysis, differential equations, and of course Calculus unless you are satisfied that your high school Calculus was an excellent course. Your meteorology curriculum will include classes in meteorological analysis, dynamics of the atmosphere, radar meteorology, satellite meteorology, atmospheric radiation, jet stream meteorology, general circulation, numerical weather prediction, tropical meteorology, severe weather, climatology, and oceanography. At many schools you can train to become a TV meteorologist if that is the direction you wish to go. The military services (Air Force and Navy) offer excellent careers in meteorology as officers, in which case you should also take ROTC in college and make arrangements for this kind of career while in ROTC. The government hires most meteorologists who work in Weather Forecast Offices around the country or as research meteorologists at the National Meteorological Center in Washington, D.C. or with the Satellite Service. NASA also hires meteorologists who work on meteorological satellite instruments and the data retreived from these instruments at locations such as Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt Maryland or at the Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville Alabama. There is also the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California which hires meteorologists doing similar work with interplanetary missions. Finally, there is industry which supports both NASA and the military and the Government which hires meteorologists. I hope this helps you a little in your planning.

Answer 3

I agree with the others. English is required for EVERYTHING. Strive to do well in science and math. You don't want to graduate high school with just Algebra. A foreign language is a plus as well.

Answer 4

Science would be essential, maths would be a huge advantage, and skills in English are useful for life in general whatever your career choice.

Answer 5

There is not anything you have to do in high school. Choose the electives you like, keeping in mind that it is preparation for college. You are going to have to do reports no matter what job you get, and your English is deficient. You may want to work hard on your writing skills. Please do not be insulted.

Answer 6

You may want to talk to your school counselor to get exact info, but I would think you need a lot of math and science.

Answer 7

Check the entrance requirements for the college you want to go to. That will answer your question.
