Where are meteorology schools? i hvae a bit of a problem more like stress i would love to be a meterologist because i love to know more about the weather, i'm crazy about it i love it, but i don't think that i'm going to accomplish that dream, is not that i dought myself is jus the fact that i'm not good in math and some of the courses that i need i have never done them before.
i i'm a new to the country i came from jamaica and i have to start my life all over again, i'm 20 right now i should be in collage or university, back home i would it's kind of complicated to know what to do to get in the feild so many sources and different answers,at this point i feel so depress and lost if i had the chance to have a one on noe talk with a metrologist or to see what's it's like in that feild i think that it would help me to think more about this career its a very intrested career and i would love to be apart of it but with the help of good i would over come.
so talk mr lough fo rtaking the time to read this letter and keep doing the good work your doing, helping us to know about the weather.
Barry's Response - Roger:
First of all, I'm glad you appreciate my efforts. I doubt you've read all 200 of my pages, but you found the right one. (to contact me with)
Yes, math is important, and might require special effort on your part, but that weakness is one many have overcome. You will also need to become more masterful at communicating in English, verbal and written.
If the passion is really there, that's the only thing that matters. When I went through one of the meteorology schools in the Canadian educational system, there were only three universities in Canada that granted degrees in meteorology: UBC in Vancouver, U of A in Edmonton, and Dalhousie in Halifax(?). They may have added more since then.
On this webpage, http://www.stuffintheair.com/meteorology-university-degree.html I give some detail about the program offered at the one I graduated from, University of Alberta.
On these pages I tell about career choices, who I am, and other things to consider.

Have a look, complete your High School, if you haven't done so already, and look into the various universities or pilot and air traffic control schools (for instance).
That's how you'll find your niche.
