Really before you rampage... I was not complaining, more double taken at it.... Saving someone's life, done it... And I know all the legal issues that come along with it.. Like I said I worked at the Y life guarding... If you do CPR correctly you could break a rib, maybe a few... So your employer would be the one if a legal issue uprised to cover you but still, there's alot under getting someone out of the pool, using an AED, admin of oxygen and CPR... Not to mention while people are staring, because really everyone is rushing to save a life and clearing the area rarely happens. Right there is 3 of the 4 certifications it takes, add in first aid too... So that's what sparked my double take thinking this would be a higher paying role... Same as zero to hero said, I'm pretty sure this is a higher paying role... Considering you do your job properly and save someones life... There's no "price" you can name... But .13 cents for 4 trainings, that could be life impacting is what caused my double take. So mousekeeping, and towel animals.. I wont go there... For you to try to make it seem like Im not grateful for the role... But more that I know what it is.... Because I have done it, and I have saved a handful of peoples lives.... Mostly children. I wanted this role so I would have the chance to TRULY make someone's stay magical... But I do know what goes behind it to perform on this job. And sadly when the emergency hits... I've seen several lifeguards back out... So before you try to teach me a lesson, think before you speak... Because I didn't mean it as ungrateful, more to this is how disney views life saving trainings t an hourly role.
Look, if you want more money, then go try to get a job there as a lifeguard not on the College Program. This program is not to give you money. It is to give Disney people who know how to do jobs and do them well who are cheap labor. Most internships are not paid. This one is. It's about the experience.
Also - I am pretty sure you misquoted me. I was saying you are paid more than a lot of roles.
And you being so important?
I'm Attractions. If I press a wrong button, I can kill people. I get paid less than you do. Does that make me less important than you? No. Do I think I should get paid more? No.
Transportation. Don't know how much they get paid, but it's probably around the same as you, if not less. How frequently do you think they could crash buses? I bet they have more issues with guest safety than you will.
Oh, and before you make a snide comment, and then pretend you're not going to say anything, just don't say it. That's why you're typing. You have time to think about what you're saying, and go back and erase it. You don't say something, then stop mid-sentence, like you blurted something out and realized your mistake.
Mousekeeping is important. Especially in these days, with H1N1, not to mention any other hosts of viruses and bacteria that can be in hotel rooms. The joy and magic that a towel animal brings to a child on a daily basis is only a topper to the work that they have to do. It's back-breaking work, alone, and you have to keep everything neat and clean, otherwise people will complain, and then you get in trouble.
Everyone is important. Everyone's role is significant. No one should be demeaned because of their role.
