Nice job but I think I'll stick with my 17 hours a week for 3 million a month plus housing, airfares, 6 vacations a year, etc.

I thought you said you owned a hagwon and recruiting agency, BigBuds. You only spend 17 hours a week managing them? And I remember you said you pull 10-20 mil a month. Your above post was a joke? (Or you changed jobs?)

Hourly pay means that cancelled classes = no pay

I love that isolated morning class, just to make sure you hate your job. None of the benefits of starting at 6:45 and none of the benefits of finishing at 21:00.

That shared accomodation is also very tempting.

I hope everyone they get quits.

- Housing: Shared 2 bedroom employee apartment
t,

Despite the long hours, ^^
This sentence alone would be the absolute deal breaker for me.

My first job in this country a few years back involved shared housing in a huge apartment. It sounded like an opportunity of a lifetime.

Perhaps if my roommate hadn't been a manic depressive, emotionally unstable person who had left her "meds" at home in order to get the job,
maybe it would have been tolerable. Despite having a Master's +30, something was missing upstairs.

She once carried a blown light bulb to school and told the director that it didn't work anymore.

She said she was scared of Koreans, Asians, and any other race besides people of European descent. She broke out in massive hives, huge red blotches over her entire body,then she walked to the hospital and said she was allergic to Korea.

It turns out she was having a severe reaction to her " new blonde" hair that she had dyed the night before she boarded her flight. Seemingly, at the request of her recruiter.

She thought everyone was out to get her. She told the boss, she feared for
her life. After a few months, she pulled a midnight run.
