Korean Job Discussion Forums

[LL Moonmanhead]

I've worked in New Zealand, Australia, and South Korea. Going to be moving to Japan (hopefully) next month

New Zealand- Apple/cherry picking, working in a cold store, bird scaring (awesome job, basically ragging around a cherry orchard on a quad bike whilst beeping the horn!!).

Australia- Making sofas, office removal work (possibly the worst job i have ever had), planting vines on a vinyard (great crack, plus earnt a *beep*load of money doing it), selling water coolers (lasted one day), waiter in a restaurant on Darling harbour.

South Korea- teacher, international playboy.

How about you guys? I know you are a well travelled bunch.

In South America, I worked as a translator for the Christian Children's Fund.
I translated the letters which the sponsors in the United States wrote to their beneficiaries in South America, and I translated the letters which the children wrote back.

I used the Spanish language on the job, all the other office workers spoke to me in Spanish, so I learned Spanish.
I miss that.

Just the U.S. and Korea. Studied in Australia. Initially, I was supposed to change countries over here each year, but that whole meeting of the Chica with her steady job and family thing kind of put a halt to that little skipper of a plan.

Korea-
Teacher (academy and middle school)
Editor

US-
Grocery store expert (did everything that didn't involve knives)
Retail (tourist store)
Painter's apprentice
Pizza delivery dude
Scanning operator (the most awesomest job for a deadbeat ever)

Oh, and I didn't know we were counting Korea since the OP says different countries.
