do you have to do a lot of paper work or do you just work in the field?

Math and physics are big parts of meteorology. Like the answer before mine said, you do need to know the dynamics and physics of the atmosphere before you can attempt to learn about the weather or try to forecast it. Most of the classes you would take in college are math and physics courses, and then math/physics based meteorology courses. They're by no means easy, but definitely do-able if you put the time and effort in.

Being a meteorologist requires a solid background in math and physics. you have to understand how the dynamics of the atomosphere works before you can predict its futures and sometime that does not even work out.

In Australia you need a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Maths and Physics and preferably with Honours. You then do a Diploma in Meteorology through the Bureau of Meteorology. Flinders University in Adelaide offered a degree in Meteorolgy at one time, I don't know if they still do, and Macquarie Uni in Sydney offers a BSc in Atmospheric Science.
Wherever you are you will need maths and physics at university level.
