What else can I do to try and find work other than randomly emailing people? I have a few weeks to find something or I have to go home.

This may not apply to you, but make sure you aren't asking any dumbass questions during an interview! I heard of one guy who asked during HIS iuniversity interview "What's your policy on dating students?"
And another guy who rattled on about what a killer he was during his tour in Iraq.

If you stay, you'll probably end up working a full year. Is 17 consecutive months in SK worth it?

Well as much as teachers are compared to burger flippers, it's sad to say, that in my home town that's what I would find; if I was lucky. I left my field of study because it was physically and mentally exausting. I miss home some what, but the opportunities here are something I should not pass up. But after 5 months of nothing I sure could use one of those crazy Asian vacations I hear everyone talk about. Laughing
