You're so bad at soccer even the Glasgow Celtic would turn you down. You better stick to ESL, my little friend.

I'll be honest: working as a teacher in a hagwon and being around annoying kids was very, very far from being my "dream" job.



Gosh, really?

You'd be suprised how much I get flamed for calling kids little sh*ts and how working with them is an utter nightmare.

My dream job back in middle school was to be an aeronautical engineer working for NASA but physics didn't work out for me and I dropped out of Engineering.

Currently I can't really imagine a job much better than the one I have. I get paid a good wage and only work 1/2 a year and when I'm working it's only four days a week for a few hours each day.

I found out, once I came to Korea, that I really enjoy martial arts.

I go to classes 5 days a week. I'm fairly good at it. Anyways, I hope to get to 4th degree and be able to teach Hapkido one day. I'm testing for my 2nd degree, hopefully, in September.

I always wanted to start a little business selling no soliciting signs door to door.

Why don't Koreans eat snails like the French (l'escargot)? I mean they eat everything else. If I can get Koreans eating snails and at the same time have a surplus of snails ready to eat I'd be a 'snail king', one of the nouveau riche. Ever thought of farming snails?

My dream job has always been being a university professor, in the subject I did my Master's in, because it was a meaningful subject to me and I think an important one to be discussed.

Well, I am a university professor here and have all of the perks those jobs have, but I do teach English so it isn't as meaningful to me personally, as the job could be. But, I've put in 4 years at the university level here and have been teaching in a university since I was 26, so I will have pretty much my choice of university job in the future. That's the dream situation for many English teachers in Korea.

The other dream I have is opening a few restaurants in my hometown in the future, and the only thing keeping me from doing that is lack of money, but I still feel the dream will be reached in the near future. Obviously you cannot have everything as soon as you sometimes want and I'm fine with that.

Too expensive to do a Ph.d and too lazy.

It'd be an exaggeration to say my current job is my dream job, but I do really like it. I sit on my arse half the time - good stuff.


You're much too stupid to be a philosopher.

You're better as an English yob tipping over Volvos when your team bites the dust.

Now get on your knees and love me.


(see bold)

True these days. My brain has turned to shlte. But I was pretty good a couple of years back and have a very good degree.

When you can write papers on Quine, Carnap (two excellent American philosophers) and Frege, get back to me. It's hardcore stuff.

The words "dream" and "job" don't really go together, now do they?


That's what I meant to say but forgot. Very true. That's why I'm in Korea - me and my Church of Slack.


Besides Carnap, have you ever read Wilfred Sellers?
