This thread is very insightful and reinforces what I already believed. I was considering majoring in Meteorology at one point in High School but am now working towards a BA in Information Technology. A minor in mathematics or chemistry would be useful because I am interested in Environmental Science as well. There is probably a difference between a "hobby" and an "interest", and making a hobby out of a career doesn't make any sense to me.
Good luck to everyone who is majoring in meteorology.
Reconsider majoring in meteorology!

It may seem reasonable on the surface but I wouldn't want my job to limit my hobby. You might also lose interest in the weather if it becomes "chore" and weather is something that I deeply treasure. I'm sure the people who work in the private sector "sweatshops" know about this.
