| Can someone teach in Korea if they haven't completed a traditional 4 year degree, but have a marriage visa? |

Legally = no.
Caveat: IF they have completed at least 2 years of a traditional degree or hold an associates they can apply for an internship osition at one of the government programs (EPIK, CEPIK, etc). |

So what kind of jobs can one legally work as with a marriage visa and no BA?
I gather it is entirely illegal to teach one's language in any capacity?
What about not teaching a language, but teaching meta-skills needed in order to learn a language? ie Study habits. |

You can get the same job that a Korean can get with the same education and background. Hope your Korean is up to snuff.
You can work as a hakwon teacher but it isn't legal and if you get caught you will be fired (and your boss will be fined (or face censure) by the education office).
Good news is that it won't affect your F2 visa status.

When I got my F-visa (9 years ago) the immi guy told me I could hold any job except:
bartender (I wonder why not?)
prostitute (yep..he told me I couldn't be a "male *beep*"
entertainment business.
Like everything else about immi your answer depends on the guy behind the desk. 2 of those jobs are legal for me.
And yes I am now a man-*beep*.
Look into teaching at a company. I don't think you need an F-2-1 (legal to teach) visa for those gigs. You'll have to hire yourself out cheaper though. |

I'd think a male prostitute would be in high demand, esp. for the more affluent ladies in town.
and if you could actually listen to their problems and even fake caring about their emotions, that'd be like a license to print your own money. not sure the wife would like it, but if she's as money-hungry like the rest, you've found the best of both worlds.  |
