Professional Goals and Objectives

After graduating from Iowa State University with a bachelor of science degree in Meteorology and minor in statistics I plan on recieving a job in the National Weather Service. I expect not to be in a location close to Iowa when I first start out in the weather service which is perfectly okay with me. As I grow more experienced in the weather service I hope to find a location closer to Iowa. As for my position I would hope to start off as a general forecaster and work my way up to lead forecaster. Once this is accomplished I would consider becoming the science and operations officer or even meteorologists in charge. In the end I want to become a successful meteorologists in the weather service and over time make my way up to higher title. This most likely will be edited once I get a better idea of what each individual title in the weather service does specifically. In the event that I cannot get in the weather service I would consider graduate school and even potentially broadcast meteorology, however these seem very unlikely as of now.
