After spending years honing specific expertise on a certain path, it’s hard to see there is anything else out there. And that is when you start to feel “stuck” in your job.

There are meteorologists across the country (and not just on TV) who love to blow things out of proportion. Fear sells. A quick scan through Facebook during a hurricane shines a spotlight on it pretty quickly.

In order to work in one career (and one workplace) for many years, you have to get along with all kinds of people.

I never noticed how much people “small talk” about weather until I became a meteorologist.
