As an upcoming climatologist, can marine science, a major I have grown to love, work into my desired field #Spring25?
Basically, I have dreamed of being a climatologist since middle school and that dream was crushed when I got rejected at GA Tech and UGA for Earth and Atmospheric Science. However, I transferred to Savannah State and became fond of my major of marine science due to learning about the ocean and marine organisms. Since I did not lose my passion for climatology, I wonder if there is a way I use the knowledge I learned for climatology.

Are research opportunities more favorable to climatology or meteorology if I pursue a degree in Atmospheric Science?
I would like to be a meteorologist although I’m not sure if I’m leaning towards being the weather person on a local news station or forecaster behind the scenes. I would like to participate in research study and long-term predictions and am wondering if I could be more successful as a climatologist, perhaps in a governmental or environmental agency. #Weather #AtmosphericScience #ILoveScience #Meteorology #Climatology #science
