No need to clarify your situation
Normal situation
You need a bachelor degree from a recognized University if you are not Korean
Unique situation
They are offering employment to people who are doing their bachelor, but you won't get a job inside Seoul. |

When they are offering employment for people doing their bachelors, is it legal for soph/19+ to be employed? If not what is the "legal" status you have to be in order to work legally. |
why don't you call the labor board. |

| Whether you're Korean or not you need a degree. Of course there are lots of illegals. The youngest I've heard of was a 17-year-old Canadian who was teaching at a children's hagwon. |

I was curious when I heard about there is an legal age/ you must be at LEAST be in your junior year in college, in order to work legally at a hawgon ? Is this true? if not, whats the legal age?
I am currently 19 and a soph in college holding an american passport, any facts would be helpful.. |
You need a degree to work at a hakwon.
You can get a job at a public school under the TALK program if you do not have a degree...but your salary will be much much less 1.5-1.6 million--what's that, a thousand American dollars these days?  ) and you will likely be stuck way out in some rural area by yourself without any other foreigners around.
Also being so young and not having a degree will encourage the teachers and students to look down on you and not see you as a 'real' teacher. If that should happen...good luck in trying to manage a class and install classroom discipline...especially (as often happens in rural areas) the Korean co-teacher is not there. Sad but true that in Korean culture your degree and age matter a great deal.
A much better idea would be to finish your degree...then you are more likely to find an employment situation that agrees with you. |

| I'm 19 and have my bachelors and am applying to work in a hagwon. I've had a few interviews this week and no ones mentioned an issue with my age. My recruiter didn't think it was a problem either. |

Uh, if you are a genius, then you'd want to avoid working at a hagwon that will only steal your time. Get a PS or college job, IF you have a genuine diploma.  |

So you were 15-16 when you went to college then? |

| My g.f's brother was 19 when he graduated from his bachelor's degree. he went to college when he just turned 17, did first year at 17 second year at 18 and third year at 19, although to be fair he was 20 by the time he actually receieved his degree scroll, so it can be done (again this is ireland, don't know where that guy is from) |

| it is possible to get a BA by the age of 19...it just means alot of extra classes when your in high school...you can take college classes as a high school guest student. ..I think that 19 is such a young age to be teaching..it's probably alright to teach little kids but i would think you would have problems with high school students or older...but whatever floats your boat. Good luck. |
