Not a uni job, but pretty much as good if not better. And wife too. I wouldnt discount studying, but it will have to be in Korea. Either an English language MBA or perhaps something Korean down the line. But never back home...I have actual nightmares (when I sleep) about going home and getting stuck there.


hehehe... I cant imagine doing the rat race thing either at this point, but I love my country and I know I want to settle in it someday again. Im 28 too and definatly not to late! Havent you hard of the old lady who got her degree at like 80? come on now, its only to late when you are dead and buried.

Well, it would take me what, 10 years to get back to the level of lifestyle I have now? Plus, I have no stress and a totally hilarious work schedule. And I find life back home so boring and familiar. I love living in a totally different culture so far away from home. Im not cut out for life in the burbs.

Speak for yourself...I work job very similar to you and I would NEVER do it long-term, even if I was paid as much as you. (and most of the people Ive talked to who are doing or have done this type of job in the past agree with me.)


Today I start my vacation:) Off till mid February:) Yeah, what a crappy job hehehe. I woiuldnt take a uni job because the accomodation provided there is usually not that good. Plus, teaching whiny uni students isnt my idea of a great time.
