 |
|
Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me.
My boyfriend and I sincerely want to move to South Korea in the fall. I have a masters degree and would like to teach English. He has two 2-year degrees (a degree in culinary arts and an Associate of Arts), but no bachelors degree. What are the chances that he will be able to find a job over in Korea? I am aware that he cannot get the E-2 visa without a bachelors degree. I have seen some reference to a GEPIK program but it seems a bit suspicious.
As I stated, he has a degree in culinary arts and is a professional cook. Would he be able to find something, anything in Korea without knowledge of the language, or are we just barking up the wrong tree?
Thank you in advance!
-Stacy |

You can't get any work legally without a bachelors degree? I don't just mean teaching.
He'll do any silly job... washing dishes....whatever it takes. |

Cant he do the talk program? If he has the 2 year degree and gets a TESOL cert?
If thats the case he can work for the public schools. |

Not as a foreigner. He'll also have to leave Korea every 180 days to get a new tourist visa.
You might want to reconsider...if I were a girl, South Korea is the LAST place I'd take my boyfriend. |

Even with the feeble disclaimer, that still sounds gay.

No, he's not legally allowed to do those things here. |
