I've had mostly great experiences working with the customers at my store, it's just those few people who drive you up the wall. Alot of it seems to stem from my store's return policy. We give you a 60 day trial period with each product (90 days for certen items). In order to get a your money back you need to bring your origional reciept (and origional credit card, if applicable). If you don't have those we'll still be happy to give you a store credit thats good at any of our 300 nation-wide locations. I've seen lots of people get really mad when they don't have the reciept, etc., and aren't satisfied with the store credit.

As for the question about broadcast, it's a wide and varied thing. You need to have good stage presence and, lets not kid ourselve, look and sound appealing. You must have personality. The TV Weatherman job used to be sort of a joke, but it's become more serious, and more and more broadcasting companies want real degreed meteorologists to do their weathercasts. I think you can still do it with a journalism or communications degree, but it may be harder to get.

You start out in small markets; local affiliates of the big stations. It could also be radio. You may start at as little as 20K-25K. After gaining experience and a good reputation you can start to move up to bigger markets and higher salary. The goal would be to become weathercasters at major big-name stationswill make in excess of $100K, but it is very difficult to get to that level. An example is to be the primary weathercaster for the ABC News affiliate in a major city. Al Rokers are celebreties, few and far between, and make ALOT of money.
