I am a twenty year old who has completed TESOL and has a few months experience teaching. I have completed 2 years of my 4 year degree, and so have not completed my degree yet.

Would someone in my situation be able to find work teaching in Korea?

i think you can work for a public school - i think i read somewhere they have a program for people who have only finished 2 years of a 4 year degree

of course, the pay is gonna be crappy. if you're looking for good pay hagwon is the way to go but you won't be able to work there until you have a 4 year degree.

correct me if i'm wrong on this

Many Brits have 3 year degrees so I would assume that would be fine too.
