This may not belong here. I'm sorry if it doesn't. But in my time here, I've seen people asking if there would be any job openings at the NWS. I just saw this in the news. http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/684905.pdf
and this:http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/report-national-weather-service-meteorologists-‘fatigued’-and-‘demoralized’-by-understaffing/ar-BBBQ90c?OCID=ansmsnnews11
So maybe there are opportunities there after all?
