I am returning to teaching in Korea. About the same salary as in HK but no crazy expensive rent. Going to further my education from abroad with a masters degree or two. Get my US teaching license and see where that takes me. Happy for a new beginning in Korea. My first experience teaching was in Korea back in 2008.
GENO123 will be along shortly to post arguments in opposition to this idea and try to persuade you otherwise.

what studies? If you are gonna drag up a thread that has been dead nearly a decade, at least throw up something to support the claim.

on a positive note, three weeks till I'm a "true" EFL teacher!

Being over 30 is important because that is when you can lay claim to being a loser, which is a core part of EFL! (I jest I jest)

Oddly enough I remember a Korean friend saying something like that. He said young people coming over for a year or so is one thing, but when he saw someone who was middle-aged teaching English here he viewed them as losers (with an exception if they are married to a local, in which case they had a reason to be in Korea).
