| Careful Creeper, this guy worked in China because he doesn't have a degree. You might end up encouraging more back packers to head out your way (not Korea) if you expose them to this. Not what you want is it? |

I heard China is the BEST destination for ESL teaching. People there just love it and claim it to be tons better than Korea. Teaching in Korea has been saturated and soon will end up like Japan where it is full to capacity.
There are literally 10 times more positions in Beijing and Shanghai in huge cities that waste pathetic Seoul.
Take your pick!
China is the future of ESL. |

I don't know, but I always get the impression that the creeper dude is stuck in China longing to go back to Korea but can't meet the requirements necessary. |

This loser's posts have been slapped up here on Dave's before. He worked in China without advancing his degree level. Over the course of a few years, he saved nothing, and then got pinched out of the market. Then he went back home and started these maniacly depressing blog posts about how nothing was rolling his way. Oh, but for his educated friends and family with experience, jobs were to be had!
Yawn. Just another example of people taking absolutely no responsibility for their situation. If nothing else, though, it serves as a good lesson; don't end up like THIS guy! |

Haha "A talented and hard working guy". Who said he was any of those two things?
Come on, he talks about depression and alcoholism after going back home and losing a job at the convenience store. And I'm pretty sure he was stalking some girl by saying that "if someone wants you to leave them alone... well... erhm... erhm... it's probably a good idea to leave them alone".
Looks like a lunatic who probably talks about his problems during job interviews. |

The unemployment rate is going down because droves of people are leaving the job market. Over 650,000 left last month alone. The situation will only get worse as socialized Obamacare kicks in January 1. What you are witnessing is a dying country. |

Huh? The "unofficial" rate is dropping too. It's true. Look here:

If the U.S. is a "dying country", then why is there a long waiting list of people desperate to get in there? The United States is the #1 destination for immigrants. It is the place they most want to go (not Sweden, Canada, South Korea, etc.). |

That may be true for newbies (time will tell), but as long as the job market doesn't completely collapse here and you have a job that values experience (i.e. non-entry level), there will be no reason to have to go to China (or anywhere else).
Hey, I just wrote a sentence with three sets of parentheses. |

I've heard this as well! Personally, I have considered China but ROK/Japan have obtained most of my attention. |

Yep, be careful from WHOM you hear about stuff. I remember years ago, an American friend of mine also doubled as the personnel manager at the hakwon he worked at. He fired a teacher who kept going to class hungover or even drunk, then the teacher wrote a scathing indictment of the hakwon and manager afterwards on this site. My friend told the site administrator, who apologized and took the post down.
Going back home is tough but not impossible. Lots of jobs in healthcare and other fields available for those who are willing to retool and retrain. |
