i'm a sophomore and i want to be a tv weather girl…?
can y’all help me find ways to become a tv weather girl by the time i get out of college? right now i’m a sophomore in high school, so i have a while to get ready, but i know this is what i really want to do so if anyone can help me think of after school activities or something to help me reach my goal, that would be awesome (:
If you are wanting a meteorology degree, go heavy on advanced math (like calculus) and physics. Since you want to go into broadcast meteorology, add geography, public speaking, and journalism to that, also.
As far as extra-curricular activities, working on your school’s newspaper (if you have one) is a good start. You may also consider becoming a storm spotter (http://www.weather.gov/skywarn/), or, if want to spend a little money for the equipment, participate in CoCoRaHS (http://www.cocorahs.org/) as a weather observer.
Here are a couple of educational links you may find interesting.

you need to know lots of math calculus or you could be a weather watcher to start

You need 3 or 4 ( College ) Degrees to do that… & by THEN you’ll be at LEAST 30… Are you SURE you want to wait THAT long ??!

"…TV weather girl…"? Gee I haven’t heard that term since the 60’s. :oD
Probably the best program to prepare for a career in broadcast meteorology is at Mississippi State University.

Of course the premier program for hard-core meteorology is at the University of Oklahoma. They have a minor in Broadcast Journalism for Meteorology, which prepares students to become a television broadcaster.

To get a jump on the curriculum you will be facing in either program I would encourage you to take as much of whatever your high school offers in Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, and Geography.
You have only two more years of high school remaining so time is shorter than you think if you haven’t already started on the math and science courses.
I’ve spent most of my life in "Tornado Alley", Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma, South Central Kansas and I’m a private pilot so I have a high regard for good meteorologists. Good luck in your efforts to become a broadcast meteorologist. Your work will save lives.
