<p>Hello, I will be a freshman at a flagship state university next year. Although my school does not have a meteorology or atmospheric sciences program, I still have a few questions about this topic:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Can/Do students with BS in other majors (Math, Engineering, other sciences) pursue graduate studies in meteorology?</p></li>
<li><p>Do students with meteorology BS get related jobs after undergrad? Do students with other majors also work for these companies? What is the pay scale here?</p></li>
<li><p>What is the career outlook for PhD students in meteorology? Are most students employed or unemployed? Is the salary as high as Salary.com says:</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Salary.com</a> Salary Wizard- Do you know what you're worth?</p>

<p>-Thanks</p>

<p>I read somewhere on College Board that if a school does not have a meteorology program then you can major in either math or physics (I think, I am not for sure which major it said but I know that it is somewhere along the lines of those two). After completing this, they then become certified through a test with AMS. Most students who major in something else then become certified through the AMS will find a job because they can work with Meteorology or their major. Go to “Major and Career Search” on College Board. There is tons of information there. I hope that I helped.</p>
