Currently work in Busan.

Signed a contract in Seoul for 2.2. Nice place, nice apartment but I don't have my documentation together so the visa can't be prossessed yet.

Got an e-mail from a friend of a buddy for a brand new school 2.9 in a small town nearby Busan.

WTF should I do.

Tell the Seoul job to stuff it. They would dump you if they could find anyone better.

Brand new schools are risky. Lots of start up cash, but not a heck of a lot of students. I would say take the new school if you are not shy of losing some money in the back end of things.

money isn't everything my friend...where do you want to live? Was your first preference Seoul as opposed to Busan? Then you should stick with that, even with the lower pay...given the fact that you have good accomodation as well.

The other guy's right, new schools can be risky!

But each to his own i suppose.
