Why did you choose Meteorology?

I actually started a career in marketing after college, but found myself enrolling in Radio/TV courses in my spare time. I took on some internships at a couple news stations in town and realized I was always migrating to the weather center and asking the weatherman a million questions. So, I headed back to school to study Meteorology and I was hooked! It all seemed to fall into place from there.
