| On the other hand they might not give you any credit for your foreign experience. I've heard lots of stories like this from returning ex-pats who came back to Korea after having this sort of thing happen to them after returning to their native countries. |

In what fields and circumstances are you talking about? And what kind of credit?
I know those teaching in public schools are often not given credit for teaching in Korea but the reasons for that are obvious.
Besides, the experience can be useful without being something that earns some specific type of credit. |

I agree with both of you-
I do think the experience will help - However, I am scared they will look at it and say how it can relate to a field other than teaching - I joked with my wife about moving back and taking any type of company job while in school to show some experience with an American company. Ideally, in all honesty... with all jokes aside, I would like to work for Costco and work my way up...
That's what a baby will do to you I guess - 7 years ago, while living in the Desert in Egypt, I would of never thought my future planned involved trying to beef up credentials to work a company job...

Time is money though. Ultimately, the equation is 0=0. |

You have to look at it as something besides "just teaching." You are managing a classroom, you are learning different ways of communicating with different people in order to get your message across to every student, you are changing when needed to meet student needs, and you are selling knowledge. Among other things teachers do.
Fifty percent of U.S. teachers burn out in five years. They move into private industry with few problems, especially math and science teachers.
But English majors can do OK too. Just ask Steve Wynn, for example.
Accentuate the positive. |
