Wes Hohenstein gave our class a visit on Wednesday. He is the Chief Meteorologist for NBC 17 here in North Carolina. During his visit he talked to us about his college life and how he was hoping to become a doctor. After his Freshman year he decided to change his major. He kept expressing that he was very knowledgeable of math and science and how he didn't want to let that go to waste so he decided to use in pursing his new dream. Wes attended St. Louis University and during this time he also talked about the internship he did at NBC right down the street. Right out of college he told us about the jobs he had. One was in Louisiana, Houston, and his present job in North Carolina. Wes also talked about the DTV transition, and how the government had to push the date back to June 12th because not everyone was ready for the switch. All in all Wes visit was a very good one. The thought of being a meteorologist never crossed my mind before, and now I will give it some more thought. Good stuff!
