Good number of us above 50 crowd out there. My compliments to those of you who have made a life for your self here in Korea. It truly is a good place to live and work if you want it to be. People with a commitment to give the time are being rewarded for their hard work. I have to say ALL of the people who made the posts regarding their age and associations are A+ people in quality and character. Cheers to all of us above 50 professionals.  |

Good on you 50+-but if you shove me in the subway like the adjummas about respect-well, I will respect you enough to help you back up.

 Same goes for you if you shove me. I'm not even close to 50 btw.
Oh..what am I talking about..I avoid subways and buses.
So if you (adjumma) T-bone me in your car and try and run from the scene of the accident, then I will kindly chase you down and call the cops on you (yes it's true and happened). |

Good.
My 60th birthday is this year, and I've heard a rumor that 60 was the mandatory retirement age for foreign teachers.
I was afraid the rumor might be true.
It could be my imagination, but it seems to me that the discrimination against older applicants is on the decline--and started to decline even before the Neil-gate scandal. Perhaps directors have learned from experience that there are more important qualifications than hair color and eye color. |

Doing some research towards possibly a different position for my next contract somewhere in or around Seoul (if possible) and stumbled across this thread.
I'm 64 in July.
That's what I know about that.
Regards,
