(not sure how to do the quote thing for 2 quotes.)
Vocational sounds very interesting. That's the first I have heard of that in Korea, and would have never expected they learned English as well. Sounds very interesting.
Thanks for the kind words. I do take everything with a grain of salt. One thing about being older is the realization that with any job, experience makes you better. Your first year, I would imagine, could be tough in many ways, but like anything else, you get better with experience. When you are good at something, you start to really enjoy what you do.
I love making connections with people, and helping them. I can't imagine what that's going to be like in a foreign culture clear across the world. I don't think I've ever been more sure of anything.
Cheers guys. |

| For those who are thinking of China, www.rong-chang.com has a boatload of jobs tho I don't know how good they really are. I'd say it's time to let the Koreans keep making demands and exit to a growing market where salaries and conditions are going up. |

I wish more people back home had this attitude.
Age can be an asset as you have had lots of experience talking with people and presumably real life business experience....unlike someone straight out of college who has never had a real job. |

I wish people like this would be banned; they are usually the sorts of incapable drunks which huge chips on their shoulders and more often than not, fall into the very category of person they purport to criticise. |

Apparently you aren't very familiar with D7. That is his thing; his calling from above even. |

At any age, the economy sucks back home. There were a lot more 50 and 60 something teachers here before the recession, especially in the mid sized cities and rural areas. |

You make a good point. I'm still making a higher than average salary. But many employers over there are starting to match Korea. Some are still lower but going up more and more. |

| I came to Korea when I was 39. Friend came when he was 55. Only reason he finally left Korea was his age at 64. He was way over the retirement age of Koreans. Just comply with the requierments and you can get a job. |
