  1. Felt it pretty hard in Southern MD. Lasted about 20 seconds. Pictures fell off the wall and drawers opened. Wow!
  2. We all know this is a difficult field to get into. I have been very fortunate though as I graduated last year and didn't get one, but two jobs! What helped me get started was my internship at a television station. I wasn't sure I wanted to do tv, but I knew I did not want to do research because I was not good at the math. So I interned at a station in DC and then after searching for a tv jobs for 5 months after graduating, they offered me a job as a weather producer. I think much of it is luck, but I also worked very hard as an intern. At the same time, I was offered a job as a weekend meteorologist in Salisbury where I work now so I work 6 days a week and sometimes 7 days a week. Yes, it is hard and a lot of traveling, but I enjoy doing both jobs most of the time. I just keep telling myself that this isn't going to be like this forever and it is temporary. If you like it enough, you will find ways to make it work and again I think a lot of it has to do with being at the right place at the right time and having connections as well. Don't give up if you have your heart set on it. Most of my friends that didn't decide to go to grad school have jobs now so there are jobs out there.
