TheUrbanMyth,
Why would a "good" or "well respected" Korean university not pay foreign professors with many years of teaching experience, teaching certificates, and advanced degrees more than foreign professors with one year of teaching experience. For example, one foreign professor with 12 years teaching experience in the U.S. and 1 year teaching experience in Korea receives almost the same pay and benefits as a foreign professor with less than one year of teaching experience in the U.S. and no teaching experience in Korea. The more experienced foreign professor also has a teaching certificate while the less experienced professor does not. The more experienced professor has acheived a higher level of educational degree than the less experienced professor. The one professor with more experience receives 50,000 won more per month.
