My school emailed me a couple weeks ago about this Disney College Program. After some online questionnaires, 30-min phone interview, I was offered a position and accepted it. The program is a paid internship and I get live in FL during my time with Disney. The program is for 6-7 months, so I'm going to be away for my Spring semester. fukk it
I'm leaving in January
So anyone familiar with Orlando?
Damn, y'all probably got dude rethinking this shyt
2ndYou know those free passes they give you every few months? Yeah I'm going to be needing a few of those
Remember I asked first
As a man who's in and out of orlando, I've met a lot of CP people
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but disneys going to rape you with no vaseline, they know you need them more than they need you. That what character you gonna be dressed up post ain't too far from the truth. Disney gives zero fukks about your major nikka, you gonna fly down there and they gonna hand you a goofy costume with the face and throw you out in the 100 degree florida sun 9 hours. your living arrangements is gonna be 3-4 other nikkas in an apartment with one bathroom.Oh and don't lose your disney ID cause the billion dollar company is going to charge you $50 to get a new one.
but hey look at the upside, all the international girls you'll be around and you'll get into the house of blues free on sundays
If they were employ me that would mean I would have to drop out of school(I can't). I'm using Disney as a resume enhancer to use for future employment opportunities after I graduate from college.
This sounds like a regular internship to me.
I haven't seen a company that hasn't ran their interns through the ringer. The way I see it unless its google you're in for a tough time. Yes they will throw your degree out the window and have you doing things that are a complete waste of your talent and time. You'll be going to get lunch and sometimes even paying for it, thats how it goes.
Education costs time and money, experience costs time and a little of your dignity along the way.
