Korean Job Discussion Forums

I have a problem. I am living in Korea. My goal is to stay here and make some money for one year until I have improved my Korean enough to attend Yonsei University�s graduated school. I was planning on getting another teaching job (I taught at a hakwon for year between May 2007 and May 2008). However, since then I have acquired 3 visa violations (2 for overstaying my visa and one for taking Korean language class at Yonsei University without a student visa). So, now I am told E type visas are no longer an option for a few years.
I have a job doing corrections of English speeches through Yonsei University�s writing center. This job, however, is computer based and I can thus do it anywhere. I am currently on a tourist visa and plan to stay on one. This is somewhat inconvenient because as an American I must leave the country every 3 months.
Some questions: 1)considering my visa violations, will I eventually be denied entrance if I keep coming back into the country as a tourist? 2) Is there a type of visa I can get (considering my past visa mistakes and my current job) through a Korean consulate in the U.S which will help me live in Korea until I enroll in graduate school? 3) is there anyway besides time to erase or ameliorate my past violations 4) I know a woman you is willing to marry me for practical reasons, is this possible with my past visa violations? 4) If I get married to a Korean woman and acquire the corresponding visa, will this be a problem getting grant money in the future when I will be a graduate student? I don�t know if it is an option but maybe I should just try to get the student visa as soon as possible? Anyway, please help me if possible. I know my situation is a bit of a cluster F***. But I love Korean and living here and I very much want to go to graduate school here in the very near future. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My situation actually even more complicated than this, slightly. In order to recieve my pay from I current job I must have an alien registration card. However, considering my job may be done anywhere, I can change my contract so that I will be payed in dollars and (say that I) live in the U.S., but actually live in Korean on a tourist visa. My email is [email protected] Thank you.

Wow, it's a violation of your E series visa to take English classes while working? That's retarded. You want to cause less problems with the country your staying in by learning the language and they want to penalize you for that? retarded...

Oh, yeah, by the way, you also have another visa violation by correcting speeches. Just to let you know (that is of course unless you have an extension of your workplace signed off by a work visa... that you don't have)

For someone whose job it is to correct speeches, you seem to make a lot of mistakes.

But since you can do the job anywhere, why not just leave Korea and go somewhere else?

I have a friend who was banned for fewer visa violations than this.

you're not a native speaker, yet you have a US passport, meaning you have somehow gotten, as you say, US citizenship, but prefer Korea? If that is so why do you keep making nigerian style mistakes? Last of all, Koreans LOVE to give out student visas as it helps them feel their uni system is not terrible.
