Teaching in Korea has been in the back of my mind for years, but I've given it more serious thought recently.

One concern is I'm in my mid-thirties now. I'm sure there are people in my age group who teach, but it seems most people who start doing this are recent college grads or in their twenties.

Is this a disadvantage? I'm male also and would be on a F-4 visa from the US. Given this, which route would be a better fit or more likely to hire.....PS or hagwons?

Thirties is often a better age. People start teaching here even in their 50s and 60s, although in those age groups finding jobs is harder.

Come on over.

PS or hogwan will be a choice you can make based on other factors. Age will be no problem.
