Career in Meteorology and weather forecasting

I thought I'd ask here as there are a lot of technically minded people and it's somehow related to astronomy. We all look out for the clouds.

My daughter is in year 8. Always talking about weather and showing interest in weather forecast, cloud patterns, atmospheric layers, etc... I guess she's always seeing me checking skippyskies and the BOM

At this stage I'm just buying her books with pretty pictures. As far as I can tell with the limited research I did the field of meteorology is linked to Engineering. What is the academic path to get into this. What are the jobs and availability at the end.

If anyone is or knows someone already in a similar field I'd very much appreciate some pointers and I'll go do a little more reading and digging. TIA.
