20.000 RNB is 3.45 Million Korean won . That would go a lot farther in China than in Korea.

Coulda woulda shoulda...


So, it's a wife, not a girlfriend. Also, I've noticed some severe moralizing in your posts. Don't do that. It goes against your credo that humans acting like humans shouldn't be judged. A good troll doesn't contradict himself; he never wavers from his original stance. That frustrates people even more. Jeez, what else do I have to do for you?

No idea what you are talking about, as usual.

Really funny thing is, take a look at his posting history from a year and a half ago..

It's like the troll sock couldnt figure out if he wanted to be an apologist or Korea hater.

At least if you are going to make a new sock to troll with, keep the arguments and stances consistent so it doesn't look so blatantly fake.

When Mr. Ninja first popped up I figured he was a Zackback sock that Zackback 1.0 created due to the fact that the original character had gone too far off the deep end to function as a proper troll. These days I'm not so sure.

Zack was cool, he did funny posts about jogging with his shirt off...

I'm not Zack though.

Actually, if I had to guess for real I would say he is a SR sock.

The writing style is very similar as is their response to topics and general, but basic, knowledge about certain topics.

To put the nail in the coffin, SR has been posting less while ninja has been posting more with an almost identical agenda.

You guys lack basic analytical skills. If I wasn't me, I could tell in 1 microsecond that KN is neither SR nor ZB.

Sigh, this old trope? Anyone who has ever dared defend Korea has been declared an SR sock (myself included). Steelrails just really, really hates people being wrong on the internet, and I'm pretty sure that's not a put on. I don't really get that vibe from KimchiNinja.

Didn't say it had anything to do w/ defending Korea or attacking it. I do neither myself.

However, they respond to, and start, similar topics. I could care less about their agenda, but whatever it is, it seems similar.

Both also have that desperate, 'please pay attention to me' vibe coming from them when ignored.

Except you guys are always busy theorizing about me, on every single thread, which is the opposite of ignoring. Idea

Anyway, back on topic:

Will the job market get any better? Probably not, but I do not see it getting worse in the short term, more likely it will remain the same.

I suppose, in a way, this is getting worse since wages versus cost of living in Korea for newbies will continue to fall as wages across the board in Korea have been unable to keep up with recent inflation.

To be totally honest, I don't think anything will change too dramatically until the testing system that surrounds English here changes. NEAT, if implemented, would have been a huge shake up for the system and would have (probably) resulted in higher paying jobs being offered as teachers would have needed more training to perform their jobs.

Eventually I think we will be headed in that direction, but it isnt now, at least during this presidency.

This is EXACTLY what I have been thinking all along. I had considered posting this but didn't want to be the only person who has noticed it.

Still not Steelrails. So now you know you are wrong. Move on please...
