This is a topic I started to see what type of career you hope to get into, are currently studying, or am currently. If your career choice requires college, state your college you went to or want to go to.
For me:
I hope to be a meteorologist and graduate from Penn State.
-
Currently I'm studying Communication at Bristol Community College and hope to internship at a local news station in either Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
-
Communications or meteorology major.
-
Mine is pretty obvious, so I won't repeat myself. ;)
-
I'm trying to somehow combine a Master's in Meteorology with a Master's in Flight Training or Master's in Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Maybe we can fly those drones the military uses into hurricanes, and significantly reduce the risk of loss of life.
Career Goal: Pilot or Convective/Mesoscale Forecaster at Storm Prediction Center.
-
Pre-Pharmacy at Temple U
-
Currently studying Graphic Design at Imperial Valley College, soon to transfer to Arizona Western College* next year to get my A.A. in Television Production. THEN (maybe) transfer again to Arizona State University to get a BSD in Graphic Design or BS in Communication, whichever's good for me. My dream is to live in Phoenix, AZ!
That, my friend, is my current plan.
*subject to change without notice...
-
I have a lot of options I still need to work out. I've always want to done broadcast meteorology, but recently thought about becoming a high school science or technology teacher. Or perhaps a graphic artist.
-
I graduated from Bellevue University with a degree in Computer Information Systems.
-
Environmental Geography with a minor in History. What career choices are out there? Well, I have about a year to think about it before graduating.
-
I'm thinking about going into broadcast meteorology. Have been trying to decide the past few years between meteorology, computer's or some sort of IT work, or graphic design.
-
For me, I could probably go for television production, computer sciences, or if all fails, back to what I wanted when i was in elementary school: meteorology :P
-
Communications or meteorology major.
Same boat here. I am actually thinking of doing a major/minor. I plan on majoring in Meteorology, and minor in Broadcast Communications. I would love to be an on-air meteorologist, and cover hard news.
I am 3 classes away from getting my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts at my local community college, and then I am transfering to Northern Illinois University in August and majoring in Meteorology, and minoring in Broadcasting (that minor is a tentative plan).
I currently work at a local television station, and that has pretty much set in stone what I want to do. I was afraid getting into tv news at such a young age would scare me away. It is stressful, but it's also rewarding when things go right.

Environmental Geography sounds interest, Billy.
-
What I'm planning on doing is going into Meteorology in college and I'm debating whether if I should go into broadcast meteorology or work for the NWS as my career choice.

You're graduating next year? Thought you would this year since you started college in '07..
-
I still have some time to decide, but right now I am leaning towards Computer Science at Colorado State University :yes:
-
Went to Penn State with a B.S. in Physical and Environmental Geography with minors in Meteorology and Climatology. Internships....eh, one at WEHT-TV (ABC25) in Evansville, Indiana, and National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, PA. Also helped teach introductory GIS at Penn State, and worked as the head of the severe weather forecasting department in Campus Weather Service. As for a paying job in the field, you can pray for me at night that I get one. :)
BTW as an aside, I forgot to post that now, I'm a Penn State Alum (class of 2010). Yay me :)
-
Kinda interested in a teaching career. I would love to be a forensics acting coach. Or a drama teacher even english

I'm also thinking about going towards that path as well, but I'm not sure how I'm gonna pull that off in the future though. :hmm:
-
The only problem I have is money for college

I was on the same boat. Community college would probably be a good route. Fortunately I was able to get a scholarship that covered most of my tuition at the community college. I'd apply for any scholarship you can get your hands on, and if that doesn't work out there is always student loans.
-
As well as pell grants.
-
Graduated from Penn State a month ago with a major in Physical and Environmental Geography with minors in Meteorology and Climatology. I'm most likely going to work for an environmental quality company or some company that requires use of physical earth sciences, (Marcellus shale?) Later today, I'm interviewing with a real estate company for temp work, but I'm keeping my options open.

I'm really wanting to become a broadcast meteorologist(with degree of course), but having trouble really getting started. Is it really a good future? Some people make fun of me for it, but should I really get into this?

Don't worry about what other people think. It's your life, not their's.
It isn't the highest paying job in the world, but if it is really what you want to do, go for it. Broadcasting can be stressful at times. But is also rewarding when you put out a great product.

If you really enjoy it, you should at least try for it. That's how you should approach any career decision. You don't want to be stuck bored to tears doing something you hate for the rest of your life. Broadcasting is extremely competitive, so be aware of that if you choose this route.
