Wages for part-time work continue to go down. Just 3-4 years ago wages were at least 35-60K won / hour for part-time classes. Most jobs are averaging just 25-50K won an hour now.

There are WAY TOO MANY ENGLISH TEACHERS HERE NOW!!!!

Newbies, please stop coming to Korea and driving wages down!! Crying or Very sad

And EFL in Korea should be exempt from the forces of supply and demand due to what?

"Part time work". What do you mean by this? Illegal tutoring? If that's the case then you get no sympathy from me. Evil or Very Mad

I think they need a 1997 type crackdown on illegal teachers. You E2s who are milking the privates...yes, you...time to go. Trust me, if there is a massive crack down, the prices will rise again.

I personally don't teach any privates...the risk/reward ratio isn't good enough....but it cracks me up this whole F-visa -vs- E-visa thing....what possible rationale (unless you're joking) is there to make one think that they "deserve" to make the big bucks doing privates over someone else simply because they married a Korean national?

Its not the E2s really killing the market, its the inflation and currency exchange.

Man if I knew how much the currency rate would change over the years in regards to mine, I would have been working illegally in the earlier years to make every cent I could.

I don't and haven't done privates as thats the rules in this country. I don't like it and over the years I have watched others get rich by ignoring them, but hey I am a sucker for honesty even when it hurts.

And man, it has hurt sometimes listening to others.
