Yeah, like Romney/Bush money? You must be smoking something.

Learning Korean helps communicate with mothers for private students, but the biggest benefit is dating. The dating makes life more enjoyable, and also leads to F visa status.
Good luck with the F visa points. Unless you graduate from uni courses here I don't think it's obtainable. |

But why stop with Mitt and George? Why not go to Buffet and Gates? They're in the 1% too right? 
Try educating yourself as to what the top 1% actually makes before you display your ignorance again. |

Maybe if you said, "Unless you graduate from uni courses AND don't speak Korean." The Korean gives you 20 points right there - I don't have any sort of relevant degree work in Korea and have around 90 points out of the necessary 80 (if you don't believe me, feel free to PM). That's without the culture course, which if I'm not mistaken would give another 10. |

About US $350,000. You think you can make that? |
As edward alluded to, I make more than that and I've proved it over and over on these boards; though some will continue to deny it no matter what evidence I provide. |

Fellas, what does this banter have to do with the OP?   |

Besides money wouldn't working hours be a concern? Why make all that money if you have no time to spend it? I make higher than the average but work less than the average as well.
I can legally get more jobs and work more but I don't feel it's worth my time and there's a limit to how much English I can teach per day and I already hit that with my current situation. |

To be fair I'm not sure you've proved it over and over. How about posting one more photo of you receiving a giant cheque, like one of those ones where someone has just won the lottery. The cheque could be for 350,000 dollars and it could have 'yearly pay cheque' written on it or something. Just to put it beyond all doubt.

Surely you missed out that he should be stood next to/sat in his sports car with the key in the ignition whilst receiving that cheque? Ideally, we should be able to see the bags from all of his expensive purchases.

| I questioned whether the time spent on studying it was worth the pay back in terms of salary in TEFL. No one has really argued a convincing case for this yet in my book. |
Off the top of my head, learning Korean will:
- help you qualify for elite test prep positions
- help you qualify for administrative positions (HR, marketing etc) in TEFL
- help you qualify for management positions in TEFL
- help you qualify for consulting work in TEFL
- help you qualify for an F2 visa
- help you recognize more employment opportunities
- expand your networking reach
- elevate you above 99% of other foreigners in Korea
There's no secret formula for making "big coin" in TEFL. The numbers just don't add up. I suspect your perspective has been skewed by marrying into the system but for the rest, the end game should be to break out of the E2 cycle and achieve professional autonomy; two things that learning Korean will help. |

Would you consider this guy a "total dick" ? He does seem to consider himself rich and brags about his net worth quite often without anyone asking him for any financial info in particular.
