Employment prospect of atmospheric science undergraduate course
The employment prospects of science majors are quite good. Graduates are suitable for teaching, scientific research and related business and management in meteorological, aviation, aerospace, marine, environmental, water conservancy and other business departments or universities and scientific research units.
What are the employment directions of atmospheric science undergraduates?
Nowadays, the role of climate prediction and regional environmental monitoring is becoming more and more important, and atmospheric science is more meaningful to protect people's lives and property, so the employment prospect of atmospheric science specialty is still quite good. Graduates are suitable for teaching, scientific research and related business and management in meteorological, aviation, aerospace, marine, environmental, water conservancy and other business departments or universities and scientific research units.

Other information:
As a student majoring in atmospheric science, I have also done a lot of research on the employment prospects of this major. I have asked many seniors and some tutors for their opinions. The employment prospect of atmospheric science major is still good. Basically, you can find a job if you seriously find a grounded person. Of course, this is also because there are fewer fresh graduates of this major every year. The main employment of atmospheric science is the Meteorological Bureau. If you want to enter the Meteorological Bureau, the school is mainly Nanqi College (Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology). However, unlike finance or information science, various famous schools and ordinary schools cater to students at all levels. In addition to the largest school, Nanqiyuan, the Second Group of Atmospheric Sciences, including Peking University, Nanjing University, Lanzhou University, China Ocean University and Sun Yat-sen University, all scored almost the same, which could not open a big level gap. Now the trend of numerical forecast replacing forecaster is obvious. I don't think it's very promising to study atmospheric science and enter the Meteorological Bureau. The salary can't go up, except that the lightning protection department under the Meteorological Bureau can reach the local upper-middle level in recent years, and other personnel, including forecasters, are all at the local average salary level. In addition, the development direction and workplace of atmospheric science graduates are also very important. The secondary employment of atmospheric science is scientific research institutions, from national level to regional level, provincial level, and research institutes in various fields, such as Institute of Atmospheric Research and Institute of Gas Research of Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as various institutes of oceanography, typhoon and drought meteorology. Those who have good grades and feel suitable for study and research can be considered. However, learning is very boring, and you must be interested and have the ability to choose this path. Thirdly, some airport weather stations sometimes recruit people. Will the treatment be good? Not really. It's smaller.
