I am currently looking at a public school position in Gijang, Busan that pays 2.5mil won, 25 teaching/30 hours week, 28 days paid vacation, and housing. The only thing it is lacking is airfare...which I have to provide myself, and it won't get reimbursed. Is it worth it? The cheapest airfare I've found is $700 for mid-August.

I'm debating b/t this and a position at Kelly Lee's Little Campus in Pusan, which offers 2.1 mil, 8 days vacation, and airfare.

Any advice would be great!

the public school job sounds better even without airfare...your still making a lot more to make up for no airfare

Well, it's about $400 extra a month, so it wouldn't be long till you'd pay for that airfare anyway. And longer vacay is always good.
