If you compare univeristy positions to law enforcement positions, teaching at a unigwon would be like being a part-time security guard, or a rent-a-rent-a-cop. Teaching at a university would be like a security guard, or a rent-a-cop. A full-fledged professor would be like being a police officer.
Any way you look at it, you can call yourself a professor to try to impress people.
Uni = univeristy
gwon - hagwon
Teaching non-credited to univeristy and non-university students. With a low salary and lots of vacation and possiblity of some good OT. Possibly even teaching kindergarten students. Imagine that! |

| I teach at a private elementary school. Nasty prep and scrutiny of a hagwon, long hours of a PS. |

I really don't understand why people say PS involves working long hours. Every job I've ever had required me to work for 8 hours (unless you count those years delivering pizza). IME private institutes' hours are much more erratic and the job is much more draining. |

I think you'll find a disproportionate amount of posters on the JRD Forum are PS teachers because we have more time to post and are more eager than most hagwon teachers to get class ideas, but lack the resources of many who teach uni. |

At my old academy I worked 5-6 hours a day. No breaks, sure, but it was only 5-6 hours. Here I am required to be at work 8.5 hours a day, whether I'm teaching or not -- indeed, whether my students (or ANY students) are in the COUNTRY or not.
I had a great hagwon, sure, but this job is 10x more draining than the ol' academy ever was. |
