I hope this isn't covered in the FAQ, because I swear I really did read it.

My friend and I both lack degrees. That said, we'd like to teach at a camp for just a few weeks, but if it's illegal then we don't want to risk it.

I am aware that an E-2 requires a degree. I'm wondering, however, whether there's a legal distinction between "pay" and "reimbursement," and if there is, whether anyone has heard of a program that simply reimburses the teachers fully and leaves them breaking even at the end.

I'm not asking you to search for me, but I am asking if you've ever heard of anything like this.

Thanks a million.

Wow...really? No one has any idea?

No degree = No teaching

There are recent government ideas to allow people with 2 year degrees or people from "other" English speaking countries (Philippines, etc.) to teach in rural areas of Korea for very low pay, but for you Westerners, you need a 4 year degree.

You don't want risks, so I won't mention you could get hired illegally on a tourist visa.
