Any ideas for a college student?

Hi,
I am a college student and I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what kind of degree someone would need to have to be an Imagineer. I want to be the person either in charge of, or creating WDW shows like The Magic, The Memories and You. I am currently going into Design, but would that be enough?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Don't take my word for it but I think Imagineering has plenty of different parts to it. In my opinion Design would most likely at WDW be you desiging things for the show instead of creating it. I would think if you want to create something go into like event planning or engineering. Once again please don't take my word for this just my opinion. Good luck though!

Hey Austin,

I recently graduated with a B.S. in Operational Meteorology and am quickly learning just how important networking is on the job hunt. :brick:

Here are some options to aid in choosing your major:

1 - Consider the majors required to participate in the ImagiNations Design Competition. http://disneyimaginations.com/Guidelines.html

2 - Browse through the current Imagineer openings and the required majors for those positions via http://disneycareers.com/en/default/.

3 - Think about the Disney College Program. http://cp.disneycareers.com/en/default/

Imagineers come from a multitude of backgrounds with varying talents.

Good luck! :wave:
