Hi guys,

If this has been posted somewhere before then I apologise, redirect me and punch me in the face.

I'm planning to head out to S.Korea in Aug.Sept.

If I get a job in a hagwon and it is a real nightmare like some of the postings people put on here, if it REALLY REALLY REALLY is terrible, are you able to change hagwons simply by applying to others to start the following month?

Or are you trapped in 12 months of hell...


Thanks in advance.

Tom

I'd simply give notice and walk.

If you're on with an E2, getting out of a contract to work at another place CAN be, more than likely be, a hellish time. but better a short hellish time than 12 months of it, right? if you're planning something more sinister, you may want to head to threads that deal with "midnight runs" and other legal mumbo-jumbo~
