| I know a teacher in her mid 40's. She was asking my salary and said that she got 55,000,000won a year. Don't know if she was stretching the details or not. |

If she has more than 15 years experience, then why not approximately 55,000,000 won per year?

No, she was laughing hysterically in her mind. |

The OP, in the thread title, seems to imply that we, Native English Teachers, are not "real" teachers.
Was that the intent of the OP?
Has this observation already been made? |

WOW, THIS THREAD WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED A YEAR AND HALF AGO.
STILL RESPONDING. I'M one of them too. haha
anyhow,
I'm assuming that the OP is in Taiwan, eh?
If you go to any country, whether you like it or not,
get used to it.
Don't complain. That is the culture. Don't expect to be as you imagined or as you want it.
If you find the place of your dream, well good for you.
Stay there |

Korea doesn't have nearly enough leverage on the world stage to be making statements like this. If you had a 200 million man standing army and one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world (like 중국) you might have something here. But you are 한국, history's 동생, so please go back to acting like it. |

He's probably referring to the fact that most of the foreigners teaching in public schools do not have a teaching certificate, TESOL or CELTA notwithstanding - and even then, probably not.
Fair enough, if I spent a couple of years training to be a teacher, I probably wouldn't consider some kid out of university with a BA to be a real teacher either. |

| I bet most of us F holders make more money than most teachers, and some of us more than principals. If you exclude the bribe money and skimming from English programs, that is. |

Not always! You should talk to your boss about this. If you can create a popular class and draft up a syllabus, there is no reason for them not to cut a deal with you, especially for a weekend class. Getting 50% from the tuition from that class is not unheard of. It really comes down to communication and trust.
And you are correct, you can easily double your salary with little to no work. |

Actually it's about a year and 3/4s. Dismayed, disillusioned, disappointed, disenchanted, discombobulated and somewhat depressed, about the lack of opportunity (excuse) to bombard, barrage, blitzkrieg, blast, besiege, or bomb a thread with a plethora (overabundance,oversupply,overflow,overkill) of links that may or may not be related to the thread, Real Reality finally found his diamond in the rough. I, for one, cannot believe that he missed it. I'm sure he's equally as baffled. However, I have a sneaking feeling that this is unlikely to happen again. |

If the foreign teacher is lucky enough to be getting paid, and the Korean teacher didn't manage to get camp classes, our salary plus camp might come close to their normal salary. |

I came here to look for information about somehow I ended up on this.
To set the record straight.
Everything is "Expressed in equivalent US$ converted using purchasing power parities."
This means is a Coke costs $1 in the US and $0.5 in Korea for numeros different goods the PPP of the US to Korea will be 2:1, and the price is discounted.
These figures are pointless. I may even go so far as to say the writers of this report have used PPP to inflate Korea's figures.
Anyway does anyone know how long Chuseok is this? I have been told 2 days? |
