Space Meteorologist

A great way to learn more about space meteorology is to participate in an internship program or get a summer or part-time job with a meteorology company, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the National Weather Service. Ask your school's career services office for assistance with finding internship and job opportunities. Interviewing a space meteorologist is another way to have your questions about the profession answered directly by someone in the know. Prepare a list of questions in advance, such as what their educational background is, how they got started, and what a typical (or nontypical) day on the job is like.
