 Have you been dreaming of the land of Mickey Mouse? Or have you been lusting for an unbridled thrill of riding roller coasters every day? If so, you may have already considered theme park employment. If not, read on - theme parks are one of the largest summer employers of seasonal employers in the country. In fact, some parks hire as many as 10,000 employees per summer!
Theme parks are also some of the most flexible employers in terms of jobs and locations. From working in restaurants to operating rides, or from taking pictures of guests to earning college credit as an administrative intern, there is a tremendous variety of jobs available. In addition, theme parks are spread throughout the country, giving you a great opportunity to travel just about anywhere. Theme parks also tend to be close to civilization (compared to say, a dude ranch), so they are a good way to work in the outdoors during the day and still have a variety of restaurant and other attractions at night. All things considered, working for a theme park can be an outstanding way to spend your summer. Also, for some summer workers, seasonal theme park jobs lead to a satisfying career after college.
 Almost every theme park job involves dealing with the general public, so workers who are outgoing, friendly and people-oriented tend to be the most successful (meaning they liked the job and would do it again). Most employers prefer to hire applicants who are clean cut and blue hair is generally frowned upon.
If you're interested in theme park jobs, you may also be interested in children's camp jobs, cruise ship jobs and even alpine resorts (some of which operate rides in the summer)!
