It's not really so much of a career, to tell the truth. Most people in the midst of hurricanes are either media who don't know what they are doing or enthusiasts who only have a slight idea of what they are doing. There are some people who do this for a living who have a good grasp of what they are doing -- Mark Sudduth over at hurricanetrack.com is one example -- and they'd be good people to talk to on that sort of thing. Otherwise, the other career path would be to go through school at one of the major hurricane research universities and see if there are any field programs available. I just can't advocate chasing for a living, and being in the media and reporting on TV carries a lot more responsibilities than just getting out in a storm once out of 300 works days per year.
