Parents got in my head about the role
I’ve been trying for years to get into Disney. Like five years of rejection and my main goal is to work up into a DAK role, as I’m a huge wildlife lover and have experience at an AZA zoo DAK actually got one of their animals from. Just this year I finally got an interview and the recruiter liked and and I went through a whole bunch of hurdles to get what I needed for the position (not dak role, something else major but with dak I know a foot in the door is needed since it’s so high competition on the inside, and at least I can do something else in WDW I love while waiting for however long I need to transfer). I’m talking emotions and all as I kept trying and finally achieved getting what I need. Plus, my friend since second grade works up there, and I’m two hours south of Disney currently. However…..
My mom and dad don’t seem to want me to go. Im in the same neighborhood as mom and 15 minutes from dad. I’ll be honest, I’m in a townhouse my mom bought me to be closer to her and to help with things, and I just had a long talk with dad about how he thinks I really need to think this through. Mind you he was supporting before to help me get all I needed for the role, but now that’s done, we had a talk about how I’m giving everything up for a move and how these days people are getting laid off for anything, and saying I’ll be going from a Cush life to paying rent, moving alone, possibly falling out with my friend if we room together, being far from family etc (mind you me and friend are from Georgia, I moved down here with my mom, and friend moved down here years before I did alone, his mom and family are still in Atlanta.) Dad says he understands I’ve wanted this but I could be messing up. I’m for sure not giving up the position but my parents did get in my head now. Idk if it’s because they’ll miss me or it’s because I help do stuff when they need (I have a truck so part of that is helping them haul) or what. He also brought up what if I have car issues and am far from my current city. Idk it’s bothering me now.
Any advice? Maybe they’re right? Similar stories?
Ig I tried to keep it discreet for some reason but the role is transportation and the thing I was busting to get was the CDL.
