Now Hiring: Weather Jobs

You want to talk about a recession-proof line of work? Try weather jobs on for size. Trends will come and go, new technologies will revitalize whole industries or render them obsolete, but, to swipe from the great Don Draper, it is going to rain.

It follows, then, that we need people to predict the rain, tell us how many inches to expect, and warn us about whether we need to move all our furniture to the top floor before the floodgates open. That's where meteorologists come in, and they're everywhere: in media, most obviously, but also air travel, scientific research, and jobs protecting the environment. So don't sit around waiting for lightning to strike! Instead, apply for a job that predicts it!
