>> As a student, as an undergrad, I would encourage you
to get outside experience in any way you can.
Reach out, do a small project with an office, just make yourself available,
and they'll absolutely take you in and show you the ropes.
I would also talk to your professors about it; kind of explore the different angles
of meteorology that's available because operational forecasting
or the media aren't the only two elements in the workplace for a meteorologist.
There's an international aspect you can get into.
There is policy writing based on, and you can work
on the Hill because, or with Congress I should say.
There's ample opportunity for scientific summer internships, very very low paid
but still you're working with, you know, Congress and today's decision makers.
So there's all kinds of angles you can work.
