Forecasting without a Degree??

[LVwxHistorian]

Hi all, so I'd really like to learn and find a job forecasting.  I have a BS and now an MS in Physics but no meteo courses beyond the intro one.  Thanks alot for any good advice!

It's a tough field. Not sure how far you'll get without an earth science/met degree. I switched majors a decade ago to IT since I met so many unemployed dudes with degrees in the field. Best financial decision I made in my life probably but I'm sure I'd rather be a weatherman. Best of luck.

Pretty much the only way to go is to create a local weather page as a side hustle and maybe charge for subscriptions or get ad revenue once you get big enough. Even then it’s a huge uphill battle - I’ve been running my weather page for over 10 years and I’m still not ready to monetize anything.

like me, you are in it for the love of weather, not as a business. When you make it a business, then you lose touch with those who really seek your weather  wisdom.. I have been reading your posts for a dozen years here and I could tell you love a good snowstorm as well as a good t-storm.
