Tony’s Answer

An Atmospheric and Space Scientist will have earned at least a bachelor's degree in meteorology or atmospheric science. Many go on to earn a master's degree and some employees are going to want to see a Ph.D.

The largest employer for this field is the federal government, specifically NOAA and the National Weather Service, and to a lesser degree, NASA. Many state governments have climate offices that employee a few people with this kind of education. Next would be university based researchers who would likely also be teaching. You see a few of these people on TV either on the Weather Channel or your local TV station. A small number are consultants, often working for themselves.

Nik’s Answer

Don’t think you’re stuck in government work or reading teleprompters. Atmospheric scientist are highly sought after in the private sector too. There is a growing field of consultancies and data science firms translating weather and climate information for cities, development aid agencies, farmers, foresters, and even companies. It’s a job with a lot of flexibility and career growth opportunities. Get a PhD as quickly as you can. It’ll payoff long-term.
