Re: Ask Me About Being a Weatherman

Does being a weatherman pay well?
And what kinda hours do you work? is it standard 8 hours?

Not to start. Any broadcasting anchor working in a small market makes anywhere from 18K-25K/yr. Everyone is always really shocked to hear this, but this business is weird. The sky is the limit as to how much you can make in bigger markets... (top 5 markets I've heard of anchors/meteorologists making upwards of a million.)
The hours suck, plain and simple. Our shows are at 6A, 12P, 6P, and 11p. My hours are 3a-12p. The chief meteorologist works 4p-1a. Tonight, though, I'm filling in for him, and that's why I'm not currently asleep.
