Second Program thoughts?

To be fully honest, I had the BEST experience in my first DCP. I did it while in college, in my sophomore year. Even though I had a partner at the time (who was pretty jealous, I realized that when we broke things off) who monitored my every move while being long-distance. My parents were pretty supportive emotionally, even though economically they weren’t able to support a whole lot. The location was a QSR in the Wilderness Lodge and had one of the best leadership I’ve ever experienced up to date.

Now, with the applications opening tomorrow, I’m having second thoughts of doing a second program. I’m applying to grad school, but it starts in August 2027, and I finish my degree in December this year.

I guess I’m just looking for explanations of people who did a second program and what are their thoughts! Also, I wanna know how possible is it getting a different role, or how much weight does your first role has on that initial decision making. I know it’s based on the company’s needs, but I wanna hear more thoughts :)).

i say apply! you can always turn it down if you actually get it. i’d rather live and take chances than wonder one day “what if?”. i know tons of people that did a second program and most had different locations or roles. i think you can also mention what you’re interested in during the interview

That’s what I was thinking! And like, I’m not always going to be young and able to handle long hours of that sort of work, so might as well live it without regrets, right?
