Jobs In Disney I Wouldn’t Want

After many years of going to Disney I have seen what many of the employees do for their job.  I don’t think that every job is meant for everyone.  There are many jobs in Disney that just don’t look that exciting to me.  I am sure that those jobs are great if you don’t want to interact with many people, but they have to be somewhat boring at the same time.

I would not want to have to do the night audit clerk jobs, merchandising, or the maintenance.  These jobs all seem to have the same exact thing going on, and that is repetition, and for the most part very little guest interaction.  I have had to check into our room late on a few occasions.  There is probably a better pay, but those people must really hate it when they want to see their family, but can’t because they are sleeping so that they can work the night shift.

I like to meet people, and work with people.  I am not sure if you feel the same, but working in Disney without guest interaction just seems very dull.

How Many Computer Techs Do They Have?

I am a 15+ year computer technician, and I am continuously learning something for my business.  I have discussed with my wife many times the option of us moving to Florida, and me getting a job with Disney.  I know Disney needs computer techs because more than 1/2 of their operation is computerized.  Disney has techs for the audioanimatronics, registers, and even the little known document management system that they have.  They must have a lot of techs.

There is a great need for techs that know what they are doing, and I am someone that would fit in well as far as I am concerned.  The biggest question is whether, or not Disney pays the brains for the work they actually do.  I guess I will have to wait until I know they are offering a lot of money, and then take a shot at it.

Maybe if I can’t get one of those jobs I can try to get a job testing Disney video games.

Getting A Job With Disney

A few years ago I told the wife that I wanted to work for Disney.  She said that the next time we went to Disney World I could go to the HR department, and apply.  Being we were on vacation already I wouldn’t have to spend money to go to Florida, or anything else.  The employment screening process seems to take some time.  I didn’t think that I would be there all day, but in the end I was.  I was finally talked to, and after hearing my approximate starting pay I decided against working for the Mouse.

I still have dreams of one day working for Disney, but I think they are just that… Dreams.  By the time I move, and everything the money would have to be very good, and currently with the economy I don’t think I am going to have anyone kicking down my door to pay me what I would want.  I just read the other day that Disney is now trying to get people to work at the Hawaii DVC location.  That would be a great job, and I would love to have it.  If it didn’t require moving, then I would applly.

Friends Leaving Their Job At Disney

I just got a call from a long time friend, and she was telling me that she was going to be leaving her job at Disney.  She was telling me that she is worried that she might be cut because of the economic issues that are going on, and jobs are continually in jeopardy.  I didn’t understand that being Disney World is probably one of the biggest vacation destinations that you could go to.  She explained that the tourism rates have been low, thus causing some employers in Florida to have to tighten their belts.

I know she was there for quite some time, but I guess that if she leaves on good terms she can always go back if she wants.  She told me that she was going to move to the Carolinas.  I asked why, and I was told that everything is a bit cheaper there, and on top of that the North Carolina health insurance, auto insurance, and most insurances are very reasonible.  I thought of moving to the Carolinas at one point in time, but realized that I didn’t want to move my family, or my business.

This will make 2 friends that have left their job at Disney.  Others I know have left Florida in general, but leaving Disney is the amazing thing.

Getting Ready To Leave

I am now making final preparations to go home.  We have been here for about a week, and now I have no choice but to go home.  I wish I could get a job here in Disney, but moving, and everything else would make it an impossible idea.  While I was here I got a call telling me that there were some possible jobs in philadelphia.

While I don’t want to leave Sony I have come to terms that I must do whatever it takes to make a paycheck, and pay for my bills, and support my family.  I know that the boss at Sony understands for the most part why I am actively looking for a new job, but I know that it would disappoint him if I have to leave.

What would you do if you were happy, but the money just wasn’t making you happy?  A job in Disney would really make me happy, but the move isn’t something I am ready for.  On top of that… the economy isn’t the greatest, so selling my house would be difficult.
