Hi Spike,

If you are thinking of coming to the US are interested in both flying and aviation related meteorology I'd take a look at Embry-Riddle's website (www.erau.edu). They offer a dozen different degree programs all aviation-oriented.... and they also provide flight training.
However, if you are looking for a degree that will get you a good paying job easily, I would definately not recommend meteorology... there are few jobs and most of them require you to have at least a master's degree. And the pay is pretty bad

But if you enjoy staring at clouds and are truly interested in understanding the dynamics of our atmosphere then I say go for it!
I've made that decision 2 years ago and I m now a senior double-majoring in meteorology and aeronautical science and I enjoyed every minute of it!

If you have any questions about ERAU or any other meteorology course in the SE US send me a PM.
