Career in meterology. hate math, do i have a chance in this career?

Question

do i even have a chance in this career i suck at math honestly. i know math is a major part of it for schooling, what about the actual job?

Answer 1

Yes, you do! I can completely relate to what the answerer above me wrote. I am graduating from high school this year, and math is my worst subject. I took AP Calculus, and honestly learned maybe 1/3 of the work I should've learned. My teacher was less than effective. Now I am taking Calc. 1 at our local comm. college and the professor is wonderful. I'm actually learning, it's amaing! I was given a guaranteed transfer to the only ivy league school that offers a b.s. in meteorology, Cornell. (So I cannot agree about Oklahoma State :)

I never thought that I would ever have the opportunity to not only pursue my major, but graduate from an ivy. Schools see potential, so if you really love meteorology, your passion will get you into wherever you want to go. It worked for me! Take that math :P

Answer 2

sadly math is a large factor in most if  not all major sciences..

i know the feeling.. i hate math too but im at keast good at it, so i can just grunt through it and eventually i would love to become a marine biologist

Answer 3

I too was horrible at math. If you have a true love for weather you will succeed. Mathematics is a factor more or less depending on what you want to do in the meteorology field but having a love for it and gaining understanding of weather will get you farther than you think. Are you still in grade school? If so try to focus on improving your math grades. Get a tudor or a friend thats good at math to help you. I take it your good at science and enjoy that so thats not a problem. Also apply to The University of Oklahoma. Its "the school" for meteorology. BTW what field do you have an interest in?

Good luck!
