Yes this is the same post as of 2 days ago before I was told by the administrators to re-post after some problems! Thanks for those who replied on the original post, all your comments were most valuable.

Yes I have posted to numerous other forums since I really have no idea of where to teach yet! Guess that maybe lazy in the eyes of some! For me I was just doing research�.so here is the original post if you want to reply! Thanks!

I have a degree and master degree in business from a UK uni, a 2 week TESOL course qualification, a CELTA, 2 years teaching experience in a college in Thailand, and when i finish my contract at my present job, i will have had 1 years experience in a prestigious Korean university.

My question to all you knowledgeable people out there, is this....

1)What is the best job I can get there with my qualifications in terms of money/hours/holidays etc etc.
2)I don�t need to save money, but I don�t want to lose money from home either. Is it possible?
3)I don�t want to work split shifts. Is it possible to find a good schedule?
4)I would only like to work at 1 institution. Is this possible?
5)Obviously it�s nto a deciding factor, but always worth asking�.What is the dating scene like there, and is there any chance of having a girlfriend?
How long are the contracts usually for and what happens of you want out?

Any ideas or comments would be most welcome!

Yes i have posted to many forums. That is because as a native speaker i can go to virtually any country to teach English. With this wealth of options, is there anything wrong with doing my research this way, or would you prefer me to write 13 different posts to all the various countries i am interested in?

So let me get this straight, you've had two years in Thailand and will have finished a year in Korea and you still haven't figured out the game, you're still asking questions like, must I work split shifts and can I work at more than one institution.
Where did you work in Thailand?

Your chances are great for a girl friend unless you look like a toad.
But then agian, Your a Westerner so it may not matter.

But it is quality of woman that you should be concerned about not if you could find one.

Good luck
