In Germany, Ireland, South Korea, and Switzerland, among others, teachers earn at least twice the GDP per capita.

Korea stands out as having a long scale reaching a much higher level than that of other countries. The starting salary for primary teachers in Korea is $24,140, marginally behind that for Australia at $25,775. Australia ranks 3rd in the starting salary offered to teachers but Australian teachers reach a relatively modest maximum of $36,175 (ranked 12th) quite early in their careers. Korean teachers, on the other hand, reach $39,921 after 15 years and $66,269 at the top of their scale.

Based on that, its pretty clear that foreigners teaching in Korea make considerably more than Koreans with the same years of experience. |

It is probably even a little higher than that. Koreans don't declare everything , nor does it include benefits that some/ many Koreans get like free DVD players or even trips to room salons.
For anyone out there who did not get air fare - deduct it.
Wonder what the average for those who graduated college in Korea is? |
