| If you could do your current job back home for the same pay and benefits would you still stay in Korea? Personally, I would. I enjoy the lifestyle here and my job is a small reason why I stay. |

| I would stay, but not forever. I am traveling the world, and if I stay too long in one place, then I might as well be back home. |

Same here. I think Korea's a pretty good place, but I want to experience life in some other countries, as well. I'm in my second year here and it'll also be my last. After that, who knows? |

| No, because at home the costs are a lot higher for me and I couldn't save as much. In America, unless you live in a huge city, you really must have a car. That means you need insurance and you have to pay for gas and repairs. Plus, there's not much that tempts me to spend money in Korea, so I save a lot more here. In America, clothes and shoes are a major weakness. Here with a 33 inch inseam and size 9 feet, I can't find any clothes to buy! |

London is just too much fun to stay here longer than a year. The only trump card Korea has: 24 hour drinking  |

I agree with you guys. I like Korea and by the time I leave I will have been here for over three years.
If I could find a similar job, but in say Italy, I would be a happy bunny

| I would run out of here rather quickly. I have mild respect for Kores, but not a whole lot of it, and of had some good times. However, iill never be able to compete with home. The people, the food, the leisure, the cleanliness. Home wins. |

| I'd most definitely stay here, though I might consider leaving after a while if I could get the same pay, conditions, and wonderful students in a less ridiculous non-English speaking country. |

I absolutely adore London. I am an artist, and the range of art there is second to none, plus the history and the culture is amazing. I suppose its because i was well connected back there too, so i knew about any upcoming events |

| If I could get the same pay in any Latin American country, I'd take it. Same pay in the US - no way. I'm making less than half of what I was at my last job in the states. Even a free apartment wouldn't bring it that close. |

| Before summer vacation I would've said 'no.' Now, if everything about my job was the same, I'd go home. |
