I have a friend who was in the college program. He did so well, they asked him to stay on longer. After the program was finished and he graduated, he was the only person in his college program "class" who was offered a full time job. I saw him in action, he was the ideal Disney employee. He worked in several different areas, but ended up full time in guest services (which is a huge department and covers many locations). He was always customer facing because he was so good at what he was doing.
Guess what? Even sharing an apartment in Kissimmee with a friend who took a job outside of Disney, he simply couldn't make ends meet. He got tired of being poor all the time and having to watch every single penny. So he quit, came back to the NY area, and how has a good paying job.
It was such a shame because Disney should want to keep people like him, yet they simply are not paying them enough to be able to live and save a few dollars.
