At present, the annual allowance for a legislator is set at 100.9 million won (roughly $87,000), or 8.41 million won ($7,262) per month. This includes various kinds of bonuses such as the one at year-end. Each legislator will be given some 2.50 million won for the monthly expenses needed to maintain his or her office in the Assembly, a deluxe car as well as telephone and mail fees. An additional 6 million won will also be provided per year for other purposes. In terms of manpower, a lawmaker can have up to six aides, including low-level secretaries, whose wages will also be paid from the state coffer. The salaries for a lawmaker's staffers can reach up to 252.9 million won ($218,454) a year. When a lawmaker goes on an official tour at home or abroad, he or she will also be given a travel allowance. There are a lot more cases, according to the laws, in which the Assemblymen could get financial support from the state. If all the financial costs are added up, the taxpayers' money funneled into a single lawmaker hovers over 400 million won ($345,423) on average per year.

it's called captalisim.

In such a system individuals have the right to own and use wealth to earn income and to sell and purchase labor for wages. Furthermore, capitalism is predicated on a relative absence of governmental control of the economy. The function of regulating the economy is achieved largely through the operation of market forces, whereby the price mechanism acts as a signalling system which determines the allocation of resources and their uses. |

Real Reality, I'd also be interested in knowing how my income compares to: a busdriver (in Korea, the USA and Bosnia), a dentist (just your ordinary dentist, not an orthodontist), the woman who cuts my hair, a CEO of a mid-sized corporation that specializes in the production of sidewalk bricks (please include the New Years and Chusok bonuses in the CEO's salary figures), Dave Sperling, the Kyungbi adjoshis in my apartment complex and a master sergeant in the Canadian military.
I eagerly await your reply. |

I was actually going to add in parentheses 'if they have that' but figured some sensitive Canadian would think I was implying that Canada didnt have a military.
But good job getting the point of the post. |

Are you just dumb?
Comparing teaching to an elected postition?
Seriously.
Why don't you make a CONSTRUCTIVE post?
Comparing Korean legislator salaries to that of Canadian, it seems about EQUAL. Do they do equal work?
Are you messed in the head RR? You seem to think apples and oranges are the same thing.
Or are you just a TROLL? |

Canada Salary Survey Results
Note: Salaries are presented in U.S. dollars. (Why?)
http://www.scip.org/ci/salcan.asp
crazylemongirl,
Does this fairly represent capitalism?
E-1 Visa (Professor)
In the case of a national or a public university, a foreigner is not permitted to be a full-time professor.
http://www.moj.go.kr/immi/08_english/02_business/e_1.html
Is this representative of capitalism?
from the EFL-Law-Guy: "Recently we have become aware of 5 cases of employees (teachers) who have worked for 4 or more years, with the same employer, NOT being renewed. (4 years, 2 x 7 years, 8 years, 13 years,). It has also become known the Ministry has sent a directive to schools, universities, etc, that teachers with Long service should not be re-employed. Those who have been told to date include University teachers, College teachers and some Epik teachers. It is a cynical attempt to prevent foreigners from getting tenure."

Again WHAT does this have to do with comparing a LEGISLATORS SALARY AND A TEACHERS SALARY? |

What kind of salary and benefits do you receive? While you may not receive the salary and benefits of a legislator, does your salary and benefits package fairly represent the importance of and demand for a professional educator?
Do you think your salary and benefits should closer to a food service worker or closer to a legislator? If you teach in a university, should your salary and benefits be similar to a hagwon teacher or similar to a professor?
