hang on a sec, don't most positions only come with 10 days??? shouldn't there be an option for that one?

total around 4 months at none of the above.

BUT, it depends on what you mean by vacation. Do university teachers consider their time off a paid vacation? I see it as pro-rated pay for the work you've already done.
Then again, I'm in saving mode and the time off in Jan/Feb, Jul/Aug is just a big gap to fill.

My wife and I work in a hogwan and we get 3 weeks plus a week study tour with the students, but that isn't really a holiday.

Where's the more than 4 months option Lots of us get 20 weeks+other random days for festivals and uni birthdays and stuff.

I get 14 days per contract however I had 5 weeks off during the summer break.


I don't know what the winter break brings, but I imagine I will use that for a trip home.

Actually more like 4 1/2 months, almost five, at my university.

It really depends on what kind of place your working, 10 to 14 days tends to be standard for hagwons or public schools. You can find places that give more then that, but they aren't going to be really common.

Universities vary depending upon the policies, but 2-3 months isn't uncommon.

Where's the 4+ option?

That's me
