I can empathize with the poster because I've had two years of frustrating underemployment while looking for a NWS job through USAJOBS (horrible horrible system) and other weather related jobs throughout the country. I finally landed a job in the wind energy industry in Texas, so I'm happy and extremely grateful. If you want to work in the renewable energy industry, that could be a good way to go. Might want to consider environmental science if not meteorology, and take some engineering or computer programming classes as well.

One of the greatest storms I've experienced, the other being the blizzard of 1996. I changed my flight plans in the last minute and made it just in time for the storm.
