Why is it that even with experience it is so hard to find schools that aren't stuck on 2.0 or 2.1? Someone told me with my experience I should be getting 3.0...Yeah right! Most schools only care about how much experience you have at "THEIR" school.

You could get 3 or more easily. If you are really a woman (which I doubt). It wouldn't be teaching though.

My problem as well. Everyone says you can get 3.0 easily but how are these jobs easily found? I have a year experience too but with only a B.A. most schools won't give you a big pay day.

Oh and when and where is the KOTESOL conference? Looking for some info.

Another option to make 3.0 a month is to get a job with a light schedule, leaving time for working at a company in the morning or at night (legal if your boss agrees and you go to immigration and get it all sorted out) or some illegal private teaching.

Teaching is a business. Unless the school or hogwan can charge more for your teaching then there is a limit to what anybody will be paid. Often you see jobs advertised paying 3+ per moth, but when you read the fine print, it includes housing allowances and such. I work in a city of 140,000 and my wife and I earn 2.5 base and about another 2 in overtime. We work the hours and get paid for it. The OT is going to fund a year of travel and enjoyment. Hope you can find something that is worthwhile and pays you 3 per month. Smile
