The answer to the OP's question is both Love & Leave.
Foreigners leave Korea bitching about it, get home and see how hard it is working a 9-5 job and love Korea and want to come back.
I've seen this with more than a few foreigners. |

| Tolerable. Could be better, could be worse. Easy to live here when you don't have any financial commitments and live with a "nothing to lose" attitude. Quite easily, actually. But still hate the lack of manners and general ignorance of the place. Guess I'm just used to it.. |

Totally true. The out of touch and fool hardy foriegners bitch and complain and want to leave Korea. But it just lessons the competition for me when they do midnight runs. |

Korea's a terrible place to teach if you actually have some training in EFL,nobody has any training in whom they're supposed to be managing and students/parents favor style over substance and have no idea how to set goals for language learning or what they even are.
I said screw it and went home and found a job teaching adults, 9-2, for good money, no headaches, and a ton of managerial understanding and support, while subbing at another place for 35 dollars an hour.
I teach students who want to be there and they are from all over the world. The downside is I will never move up (and if I did I'd make less money) and I will probably not get a raise, but as I'm in grad school it's a perfect gig for the time being.
If you have some kind of certification beyond just an online TEFL, you'd be surprised what you can find in the US. |
