MBA'S ARE APPLYING FOR THEME PARK JOBS

Each year, Carowinds must fill more than 2,100 seasonal jobs at the 112-acre amusement and water park off Interstate 77, near the S.C. line. The staff starts taking applications in January and after a week usually has about 1,000, said Sandy Cranford, director of human resources.



This year, Carowinds had about 3,400, she said, or more than triple the typical turnout.
