Hey!
I am about to get an F4 visa soon, and was wondering if there are any other jobs around Korea that native English speakers can procure that pay better with similar hours?
Anyone know of any high paying Korean jobs?  |

If you have Korean communication skills AND/or job skills in other specialties (engineering, (P.Eng?), hard sciences?, R&D?, academic research?) then yes.
If all you have is the ability to speak English and a degree in basket weaving then no.

I've actually been wondering this myself. My degree is in Psychology, but I don't think that's really going to help me much in terms of getting a job while in Korea (unless I can do a lot more with a B.S in Psychology in Korea than I can do with one in the States).
*edit*
I can speak Korean though  |

I majored in Biomolecular Chemical Engineering and I speak Korean fluently, but I'm looking for an easy job that pays well  |

LOL....
Aren't we all.
Typically, in my travels through life, it has been my experience that easy doesn't pay well and great paying jobs aren't easy - there is a reason why they pay so well.
Education (M.Sc, PhD) and/or experience will get you far. Until you have those, there is no easy way up the ladder to the top.
Fraid you will have to pay your dues in one field or another.

@ck
Well, from what I know...your degree might be able to help you. Since you have experience in 3 fields (biology, chemistry, AND engineering) you should be attractive to many employers. But you're probably looking at internships, rather than an actual job. |

True, I'm thinking about something along the lines of maybe a yoga instructor or something... |
