One of my students went off to work for Disney five years ago (she was a
children's theatre specialist-- very good).  Less than a month later I
found her waiting tables in my favorite restaurant (many miles from
Orlando).  I asked her what happened to her job at Disney.  Her first
comment was "The rat is evil, everyone who has ever been there knows that".
 Her dissatisfaction focused on going from the task for which one is hired
to becoming a costumed character, to being drafted to sell in the shops,
etc. etc.
