>> Meteorology is a pretty intense field.
It's almost engineering.
You take most of the math that engineers take, in fact, all the math that engineers take.
But it's also a diverse major.
And the meteorology field is large and still growing, actually.
You know, 20 years ago and still today, television
and communications are a very important part of meteorology.
There is still the aspect of severe weather forecasting,
severe thunderstorms, tornados, snowstorms.
That always gets people excited.
But then, the private sector is growing, continues to grow.
It was growing when I was here.
And now, you talk about renewable energy sources,
most of the renewable energy is weather driven.
Either it's hydroelectric, is what I work with, but wind and solar are weather related.
And now the whole understanding of climate change and climate science and preparing
for that and being more resilient to whatever can come our way.
That also is a meteorology degree.
And meteorology can help you branch into other areas like weather risk, hydrology, geosciences,
geography, you know, GIS, geospatial analysis.
There is -- meteorology is a pretty darn big field, and it continues to expand.
