Krick was an accomplished pianist and pursued music professionally but found it financially unrewarding.〔 Still in early twenties he worked at the radio station and at a stock brokerage – until the Wall Street Crash of 1929.〔 Finally, working for an airline and advice from his brother-in-law, Horace Byers, an MIT graduate, helped him find his true interest in weather.
