What is the prospect of meteorology major?

Meteorology is definitely an increasingly hot industry. As you said, meteorological disasters are frequent now, and the news media reports with increasing breadth and depth have alerted the public. Global warming, which caused an uproar in the past few years, has undoubtedly increased people's concern about climate change and environmental protection, especially the governments of various countries. Then there is the smog weather that is very hot recently. I believe you also have a deep understanding. As soon as the people attach importance to it, it is inevitable that the service indexes of meteorological industry will be continuously improved, and the state must increase investment in this cause and promote the development of disciplines.

Meteorology major has two employment directions. One is to enter public institutions, such as meteorological departments at all levels and environmental protection bureaus. Note: civil servants don't need it! My university holds weather job fairs all over the country every year. It's not that difficult to find a job, but in places with great geographical advantages, such as the Yangtze River Delta, the competition is still quite great. Those who study our major will generally take the postgraduate entrance examination. The other direction is scientific research. At present, there are many scientific research institutes, such as the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and universities, all of which are engaged in scientific research. It depends on your own interests.

As for working in the Meteorological Bureau, it is not easy, and it is also different because of different stations and posts. Most of them are relaxed and well paid. This also varies from place to place.

I'm not recommending you to apply for the exam, the most important thing is your own interest, which comes first! It is not easy to learn meteorology, which is closely related to mathematics, physics and even computer programming. Theoretically, it will be boring, and the key lies in persistence. Think about it!

Many graduate students in meteorology have not found corresponding jobs. It's really hard for you to go to the meteorological observatory. It's not as simple as you think. Just like watching music does not necessarily make you a singer. Meteorological stations and meteorological bureaus recruit very few people every year, and they also have to take the civil service examination. It has little to do with what you have learned. In addition, agrometeorology plays a very important role in the field of meteorology. Unless you are willing to stay as a meteorologist in a backward rural area far away from the city, I suggest you not choose. Of course, the salary is about 2000 yuan a month for meteorologists.
