Hey!!!! Congrats to you! Careerstart is a lot of fun, you get to do a lot more than the collegeprogram because of the class they make you take. For instance in mine, we got to meet some incredible imagineers and my group took the tour of Expedition Everest. It was awesome. However, they are not kidding about following the rules. Half of careerstart will not make it at the end. Some go home (self-terminate) the rest are terminated. This is based on drinking, not going to the careerstart class (if you miss two, they do contact your work location) and being stupid with missing work and reprimands. But if you follow the rules and have fun, it'll be a great memory! If you have specific questions, feel free to ask!

Congrats!
I am so excited about going!! What type of attire should I wear to class? I know you have to business attire to orientation but it says you have to wear causal buisness attire. What is causal business attire?

I think it's just a pair of nice pants and a nice shirt. I usually wore a pair of nice black pants and a nice long-sleeved shirt to class.
But I will be there in the middle of summer.

So was I. You can also wear a nice skirt and a short sleeved shirt, if you want. Just make sure the skirt is long enough.
I know I read about the skirt length. I'm sure that if it meets my finger tips it will work because that is the rule at school.

CS is almost the same as the CP. For CS, you don't have to be in college, and for the CP, you have to have done at least 1 semester of college. Also, CS people don't get to do all the roles available to CP people.
CS stay in Chatham/Vista as well.
I know when I later go back and do the college program I want to do the character constultant!

I am 22, and got hired in the CS program. I start May 28th. Can't wait!
I am not entirely worried about getting fired or whatnot. I guess it's the mature ones that stick around.
In any case, I did heard that the CS and CP are looked upon a little less in the scheme of things. Some hazing comes with the job (and, I've been working since I was 15, so I am use to it).
Anyhow - congrats!

If you want to do the CP, you can only do it up until the semester after you graduate.

My roommates and I wore like buisness suit skirts the first day, then from there on out we wore khakis with a short sleeved polo. Just make sure the shirt isn't see through material or too low cut ( I saw a girl get asked to leave class due to that) But whatever you wear, that room is always cold!!!
