Where do Atmospheric Scientists work?
Consulting firms are the fastest growing employment sector in the atmospheric sciences. Meteorologists in this sector work in every aspect of the field, from radio to forecasting to air pollution meteorology to forensic meteorology to basic and applied research. Some graduates work in risk assessment for insurance firms, resource allocation for power companies and stock futures pricing for investment groups. Other graduates find related work in computer sciences and aviation. Private sector Atmospheric Scientists hold university degrees up to and including the doctoral level, although the majority end with a baccalaureate degree.
