Well, although I agree with "lover.asian" (if that is his REAL name!), I'd like to be a bit more welcoming. Some people forget how clueless and timid they might have been when they first started the search. But he's right (sorry if you're a 'she').
This subject is covered on a weekly basis. If you have specific questions don't be afraid to post.
Good luck! |

My ECC..
Pros
- A lot of foreigners to hang around with.
Cons
- Poor pay considering the long hours
- Feeling of just being another cog in the machine
- Profit oriented management.
I found it is hard to care about the children in ECC but easier to party than my current job.
There's a world of difference between working in the city and the countryside.
What do you want out of your time here? |

My first year was at an ECC and the biggest complaint I have would be that I had to worked Saturdays. I have never had to work on Saturdays in Korea since. I feel I really missed out on a lot since there were a lot of opportunities to do things with the adult students and parents. I have never been in a town where there were these opportunities since. There was structure and I consider it a good place to "pay your dues". But for one, and only one year. |

| f that man, if its ecc uijeongbu then NO WAY! Pay your dues? Pffft! I call that wasting a year, there are too many good jobs out there, or at least decent ones. if getting ripped off, lied to, taken advantage of regularly, basically being served sh*t and somebody calling it dinner is "paying your dues" then go ahead, but I'll pass. |
