So i cant help but feel that the article comes off as a rant by someone who is in Korea not as an English teacher, and making efforts to draw a distinction between himself and the self-perceived "all the other" foreigners in Korea.


Better yet, it strikes me as a rant by someone who was in Korea as a teacher, went home and got his JD, then found himself back in Korea when he couldn't find a job in a market saturated with inexperienced lawyers, and now feels the need to justify his decision by denigrating that which he once was.

This guy sounds like a bit of a douche with an inferiority complex. I like the way he tried to fit in the word professional in almost every sentence. I like how he calls himself a professor of law, in the 3 universities I have been to and out the 200 educators I worked with there were only 30 professors.


... Are you saying that of the universities you have attended/worked at, that 170 of 200 teachers were TA's, temporary hires or adjuncts?

And yet somehow this guy apparently feels he's perfectly qualified to pontificate as some sort of expert...What a joke. He should at least have a sense of irony and say "I'm what's wrong with hiring in Korea".
