Women alcohol and poor decisions stopped me. I finished a good part of my broadcast stuff from Miss State after I graduated from State. I'm doing pretty well for myself in the professional world so I'm good with this as a hobby

Poor math skills and the low average pay stopped me. But the same end result for myself as well. I enjoy what I do along with good pay, benefits and state retirement is a great trade off. Looking back, I think I would have ended up hating what I loved. Keeping weather as a hobby keeps it fun.

Fair enough lol. The 2019 tornado in Zebulon came insanely close to wrecking my house, as in on the road leading into the subdivision close ! 2011 missed me 3 miles to the north , hurricane last decade have been mediocre . Matthew though had people out of power here for a couple weeks though. I won’t change though . Trust me !

Same , when I realized I’d be spending my entire day on computers with software I realized it wasn’t the glamorous career it seemed to be .

For what it's worth, if you start at Meteorology and decide you're not into it, whatever school you go to will likely have lots of other options. You sound like a smart guy, which is a plus. Not all people that go to college are smart. (You'll find that out whenever you get assigned group projects)

Yeah, I had to learn that with the program I’m taking. I truly was surprised considering these students are supposed to be motivated. We would have written discussions that everybody could view, and a good chunk of kids wouldn’t even capitalize their letters at the beginning of a sentence. I don’t think I ever saw the class get average grade above a C on the charts.

Wait till you work on a group project, and a guy turns in his assigned section that's 3 pages long, but only one paragraph. ? And that was a Junior level class...

Back in the 1940s, my father was forced to leave NCSU by his parents due to "Wine, Women and Song." I think the final straw with his parents was when he sold all of his text books for beer money. My grandparents made him attend a local business college, which led to a career in radio broadcasting.
