I am? Don't you realize that you'd have to commute from a place like Dongducheon if you wanted to make more than 2.0 at BPA? (We are working for money, right?) If you want to live in Bundang and make the equivalent of 1.9 (IF you've got decent key money), and work 6 days a week, go for it. I'd rather have a heavy week, but make 2.1, get a real severance, and have weekends free. And I don't want to be angry that I inflated my scamming boss' power over me by agreeing to a security deposit.

You call it the "2.5 job". Is that how you think of it? The academy is probably hoping that someone mathematically challenged will think of it that way. |

Nah, I make 2.5 for 3 teaching hours a day. I would never take hagwon housing anyways.

Good, it's nice to see that you no longer wish to argue with me. I don't understand why it bothered you that I politely disagreed with your first post.
With all the idiots like this who come and go on these forums, it's no wonder traffic is slowing down. |

When you call someone mathematically challenged, that is far from polite. I was simply saying that the working terms of the '2.5 job' were better when you take into account the entire package. I used the Dongducheon example because it is the kind of job I would not consider more than about 0.7 seconds.
With all the assholes on this site, maybe that's why traffic is slowing down.

no pension (unless you're South African and don't pay into the fund), health insurance, and severance is illegal. completely illegal.
unless they're going to try class you as an "independent contractor", which they probably will. |

Yes, Cave Dweller, it was not polite of me to say "mathematically challenged," but that was in response to your second post, which seemed to be a sarcastic dismissal of my response to your first post. I don't think my response to your first post was rude. I didn't intend it to be.
Anyway, the job ad may be getting responses from some Kyopos who have their own housing. I don't know what the job market is like for Kyopos, so some of them may have to accept worse conditions. A lot of the best paying test prep hagwons prefer Kyopos, however. |

I think diligent gyopos who speak fluent English and Korean can make more money than a whitey.
Key word on diligent. It is important to play the westerner card when it benefits them and the Korean card in other times.
Female gyopos really clean up. |

Females with any F series visa clean up. 60-70,000 per hour for corporate privates can be easily had.
Diligent caucasian teachers with experience, and a decent level of korean can clean up as well. |

They will be lucky to get a non native at that price. That is less than what the lowest paid Korean teachers get, and a Gyopo can easily make as much as western native speakers in this country. |

Even Filipinos do better than that. I wonder if it's a typo and it's meant to be 500k a week.

Some are not quite as good at English as we are. Some are just as good and possibly better.
