[punkyb87]

Hi, I'm new here and i have been lurking for about a week and I have an interview today with the college program and I was wondering what is the highest paying role? is it custodial, hospitality, fast food, character, vacation planner, costuming, bell svc dispatch, transportation, backstage
etc.......

I'm pretty sure it's lifeguarding but I could be wrong :]

Hi there,

I am a campus rep, and can answer this for you. The highest paid role for a CP is QSFB. The hours can be grueling, and guest interaction is HUGE. They def deserve to be paid more... they work extremely hard.

I think at this point everyone makes over 7 dollars an hour. My letter for attractions said 7.14. However can i give you a work of advice. Dont apply for a role just because it makes more money than the others. You will be working hours and you want to be doing somethign that you like. Yes QSFB might make the most money but I know personally I would not want to be selling mickey ice cream bars in the sun for 6 months so I would rather take the pay cut and work somewhere else. Thats just my two cents.

Exactly!! I'd rather work in a role that makes less, but makes me happy, then work in a role that makes more but I don't like. Besides, you can always pick up extra hours.

I'm parking lot attendant and i'll be getting 9 something an hour
which is above minimum wage.

But this is California so the minimum is higher

 

[lea509]

California is always going to make more money - I know Custodial at WDW makes over eight dollars, I think they are one of the better paid

 

[Joanna71985]

For the DL CP, the pay rate is higher. But they also have to pay more for housing. It all evens out for both CPs.

lifeguarding has the highest base pay. . .

and then QSR gets. base + $0.50 for the job, and then if you work in MK it's $0.75 additionally i think...

I hope I'm not understanding you correctly here. If I am, maybe I'm old-school, but I think it's best to tell the entire truth during interviews.

If somebody were to find out out that a candidate lied, then that candidate will have a reputation for being dishonest and will not get hired because they cannot be trusted.

also, if you're accepted, you have to submit transcripts signed by your university

You do realize that you need to be a current student to be on the CP. You shouldn't have lied to them.

I actually didnt have to submit transcripts last time but they do check with your school to make sure that you are enrolled. I wouldnt have lied. You might be given an offer initial and then it would be revoked once they find out you arent in school. It might be better to email your recruiter explain the situation and then apply again when you are enrolled in classes.

yeah it is always best to tell the truth but i am enrolled in school i have taken more than 1 semester and when i read the requiremnts for the program it said must be enrolled in school and have taken at least 1 semester and can not be on any breaks and i fit all that requirement right there and i contacted my school to see if there were any other requirements and they told me no i am good so when i was doing the interview she was asking questions and i was like yes yes no yes etc and when she said are you at least enrolled i was like yes and she finished with taking at least 1 class and went on to the next question and i didnt interrupt and say wait no im not taking any classes this semester..... now im wishing i did cuz she might have said that is ok just as long as im still enrolled and have taken at least 1 semester (im a sophmore now but my classes got dropped for reasons out of my control long story)

if they check with my school to see if i am enrolled that is fine i am still enrolled there...but not any classes ok i guess i will contact my recruiter and talk with her about the situation and see since my school gave the ok. if not then i won't be able to take the time off to take part in this program again

I havn't been on here that long but, from what i've seen everyone is very nice and mature enough to not label people liars or anything else. You made a simple mistake and you shouldn't feel bad about it. I don't think anyones intentions were to make you feel terrible.

But all you need to do is call the college program and explain your situation. they'll tell you what to do from there and if there is any problems.

I wish you the best of luck!
