the way i've planned out graduation requirements and whatnot, i was going to apply to do the CP the fall semester after i graduate. after looking through loads of these threads and my most recent trip to disney in december, i'm starting to doubt how much i'd actually enjoy myself.
the reasons being:
- i hate stupid people. not everyone who comes to disney is smart and they will probably be illogical
- depending on the job, it might not actually be FUN, which could ruin disney for me forever
- sharing a room/apartment. i've never had to share a room and i don't understand why there aren't single accommodations. call me a diva, but i need my privacy and i don't like having to work on other people's sleep schedules
- i'm not very patient if someone is rude to me, which will undoubtedly happen while working at the world. i guess depending on the job, this will vary, but what happens if you're rude back to a guest (after all your patience has been tested)?
i guess i'm torn because it's more of a "i want to do this" thing than a "this will help my career" thing. i have a friend who did it last semester and loved it and my best friend is doing it next semester and she's really excited. i don't know if they're affected by how much it will help their careers, as one is a public relations major and the other is in marketing. i'm pre-dental so this won't really be any sort of career boost for me; it'll just be something to talk about in interviews and i'm sure i could put a "helped me learn about different people's needs" spin on it if i have to.
former CPs who were having trouble deciding whether or not to do the CP's input will be especially appreciated.
