Surprisingly, not very often. Exact statistics are not available, but it does not appear to be more than a few every few years. Until recently, all had been killed in incidents not directly related to tornadoes. It was not until May of 2013 that any storm chasers were killed by a tornado.
Possible jobs for a storm chaser include meteorologist, environmental scientist, emergency management specialist, or freelance photographer/videographer. These roles often involve tracking, studying, and documenting severe weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, or blizzards.
Most storm chasers, assistant or otherwise, do not get paid at all.
Yes, there are storm chaser groups and individuals who actively track and observe thunderstorms in order to study them, gather data, and capture footage. These storm chasers often use specialized equipment and vehicles to safely navigate severe weather conditions and document their experiences. Some storm chasers also assist in providing early warnings and information to the public about approaching thunderstorms.
Storm Chaser is an EP recorded by synthpop duo Erasure. It was released in the UK and Germany by Mute Records on 24 September 2007 and a North American release followed on October 2. The EP is available on CD, limited edition 7-inch vinyl and digital download.
A storm chaser actively follows and tracks severe weather conditions, often for research or reporting purposes. A weather person, commonly known as a meteorologist, is a trained professional who studies and forecasts weather patterns to inform the public about upcoming conditions.
Yes. A few people have been killed while storm chasing. Though oddly, no storm chaser has yet been killed by a tornado.

You don't need to take college to become a storm chaser. I do suggest attending a storm spotter class to better understand storms and tornadoes.
