Do you fare well in Korea?

Financially?

Accommodations?

Workload?

Moreover, I'd heard you can no longer make visa runs to Japan if you don't like your job. Is this true?

I just want to get a feeling of how things are now since maybe I'd like to return. My goal would be to teach at a university. I've come back to the U.S. and have gotten an MAED but know you have to be certified, too, in order to teach at universities.

Or is this still a grey area?

Most universities want a related MA, which you have, and 2 years of universisty teaching experience. While that is more apt to be a stipulation for higher tiered universities, those outside of major cities may not hold you to it.

Financially? Korea, Seoul in particular, has been exceptionally good to us.

Accomodations? Loopy expensive.

Workload? Tough to compare. Most of my ESL buddies teach 4 classes a term. I teach 2, but I'm not in ESL and I'm tenured.

Visa runs? Not an issue. Got the green card.

Thanks all, I'm just kind of feeling things out here.
