-I see people who claim to make more than 2.5 working in Korea. HOW AND WHERE? The university jobs are posting 2.1 for 20 hours a week. Isn't that the same as public school? And who would show up with an MA and experience for as much money as a FOB hogwon jockey?
-Is it true that Korea wages are really going down? I just got into this and wanted to go get an MA in a few years, and come back and try Uni work, but this doesn't look so good.
-At the same time I hear all this money for 'extra' classes, but education is a hard job and you time to plan, sleep, eat, and recover. I have 4 back to back elementry classes today...all with over 25 kids! agh.
-So where is the money, now that privates are illegal, in Korea?

Those are the ones you see. They are the crappy one. That's why they have to go to Dave's to get teachers. A good uni job is like gold. Highly sought after and traded.

...and usually based (or heavily weighed) on recommendations from current staff.

2.5 is middle-range at best for a uni job.

The better ones are over 3.0.
