How much do the salaried professional positions make at Disney

wow 31k a year before taxes is extremely low for 55 hr weeks. They are not even making $12 a hour. That is a joke. I understand that most of these people are extremely young (probably 23 or 24) but still that's ridiculous. I would hope to expect at least 37k a year or closer to 40.

Do they hire board certified physicians at WDW?

The pay is low because the jobs are awesome - lots of people want them, so they don't have to pay more. The perks are wonderful, so are the benefits, and you're working for a prominent Company doing something that relates to your education. That makes up for the low pay!

You are SO the type of people disney wants. The benefits are NOT good, nor is the pay. Saying "I have fun at work" doesn't pay the bills. If "the magic" at disney clouds your vision enough to make it worth the sub-industry standard pay, and you enjoy living paycheck to paycheck, then sign up!

Most management roles in the business / marketing fields start out in the very low 30s. Management interns bring in $615 a week for 55 hr weeks on a normal basis.

Upon going full time "statused", they recieved an extra $35 per week. Most entry level management positions are not salaried on a monthly basis, but on a weekly basis. $650 a week before taxes is what my friends bring home, and that spans several different management fields across 3 different parks / resorts.

Ah, finally some number I know are real.

Not at disney you won't! Plus, the 55 hour work week would be on a good week. You also gotta remember disney's hours. Restaurant managers come in as early as 6am, and stay as late as 2am.

So its looking like I should ditch the PI and go straight to law school next year huh?? I love Disney just as much and probably more than the rest but I did not work my "ears" off for 4 years in college to make less than 12 dollars an hour. That is really sad. This is horrible news to me as I really wanted to do the PI.

There's some value in gaining experience as a professional before going to graduate school... you can still do a PI if that's what you "really wanted" to do, and do law school. It's just six months.
