A side note Polly: When you apply for the ARC you can request that they deliver it. There's a small charge, but well worth it.

Why are teachers in Korea? Because there are one, two or three aspects of Korea they find uniquely appealing and desireable, yet many rightly find the bulk of the place inhumane.

I'm in Korea because:

1. The language kicked my donkey the first time I tried, and I'm not about to give up that easily.
2. The woman I love lives here.
3. I like Korea.
4. I can make enough money for grad school.

I came here because:

1. I had been out of school for two years, and worked two jobs just trying to survive...not too fun.

2. I saw that my job wasn't going anywhere, and I wanted to go back to school to make myself more marketable.

3. Then, I realized that I could never go back to school b/c I had no money...could barely pay bills, let alone pay off 20,000 in student loans, and sock away money for another degree.

4. I wanted to travel...and see the world, and possibly see if teaching was the career for me, and Korea provided the best place for me to come and try that out.


Now I am here, paying off loans and credit cards faster than I ever could have, and am starting to put away money for school.

I have already visited a number of countries...and I am glad that I came, no regrets. Of course, I have many days where I wish I could be at home(Korea is by no means an easy place to live, especially out in the sticks)....but there is no other place else that affords me this lifesyle at the moment.

Why do people work in Korea?

It's a global community these days. There's no need for anyone to feel they should live in their home country. I can work in any country that gives me a comfortable living. Korea does that. I don't need to go into psychology to work this one out.
