The Weatherman

As I sat watching the local news last night, and analyzing all the hosts' personalities and such, I couldn't help but notice that the weatherman was by far the most interesting. He was interesting because his voice projected in a completely unnatural manner. I wondered if this guy sounds like that when he's at home, talking with his wife.

What struck me the most, however, was that the job of a weatherman has to be the easiest job in the world. The only skills it requires is being literate and, stretching it, a good voice and a smiling face. Essentially, these guys are reading off teleprompters what is chroma keyed on the wall behind them. Anyone could do this job.

I also realized that the weather is one of the jobs that is most well-known to the population. What I mean by that is the weather report in itself is like a description of the science. Everyone and their two cousins knows about low and high pressure systems, lake effect snow, barometers, and how they affect the weather. At least that's how I see it...
