So I've graduated from college and am not happy with my profession. Can I do the CP if I'm enrolled in a local Jr. College taking classes to expand on a future career? All the PI require that I have CP experience. I really think the CP would give me experience to see if Disney is for me. I have enough money saved to be able to do this.

As long as you are enrolled in college, you can do the CP.

Not all PI require that you've done a CP. :confused3 Depends what you're wanting to do, though.

Thank you for the advice. I've looked again today on the PI board and every area I looked at (except finance, horticulture and animals) has both previous CP enrollment and/or Jr./Sr. in college. I don't have prior CP experience and I'm actually out of undergrad. *I'm using my mom's login -- she's the teacher -- I'm actually an accounting major and very disenchanted with public accounting. Never had the chance to even consider the CP program as accounting has little wiggle room with the required 150 hours to qualify for the CPA -- so taking a sem. to do the CP wouldn't have been a wise choice at that time. Now I have lots of regrets.

There's a presentation in my area on 11/4 so I think I'll attend and see what happens. I'm still working full time but enrolled in a Jr. College taking Event Planning/Human Relations type classes at night just to get some background outside of accounting. Hopefully I'll still be qualified to appy.

Does anyone know if it costs anything to be enrolled and not taking any classes?

you have to pay an application fee and when you register for classes they charge tuition and fees then... but if you are just enrolled and not taking any classes then they are not charging you anything ...
