Dodged a Bullet

 When I was younger, in the 1990's, I applied to do the Disney College Program.  I was one of those people that thought this would be good on my resume.  I actually applied three times.  I had lots of experience in the service industry.  I guess technology has come into the process, but when I applied, they came to the college campuses.  I interviewed.  I guess I was not brainwashed and bubbly enough for the program.  I worked with one person, who severely lacked communication skills and tended to be unfriendly and she got picked.  Why?  I think someone up above was looking out for me.  Later in life, I had moved to Florida.  We were close to Disney.  My thought was with a degree, I would have an advantage to getting a position that was not entry level.  It turns out Disney hires everyone as entry level.  I actually did get offered a job as a bellhop in one of the hotels.  We were trying to buy a house and working minimum wage was not going to cut it.  This morning, I was looking at YouTube vides and I find "Disney College Program: EXPOSED".  I am glad I did not get picked for this program.  It looks like it is slave labor.
