Hey, I sent your post to my scientist friend who said this. Hope that helps
"I am an atmospheric scientist myself, and studied meteorology. I took some climatology courses during my studies. I think that to get most out from those courses , you should think about taking some courses in basic atmospheric dynamics (take a look e.g. at Holton's introduction to dynamic meteorology; maybe its not that hard given your background). My work has loads of variability as I conduct various measurements, perform data analysis and model simulations to investigate atmospheric phenomena (not that much pure climatology). Programming is an essential skill, of course in addition to knowing the basic science, familiarising oneself with recent literature, and connecting new findings to those. It's quite fun. Of course job security is not really a thing, and might be better in weather forecasting. Good luck! :)"
