What does the average guy at CDI make?

I'm just wondering. Don't want to get too personal.

Please take a look at the thread I just posted:

On paper, you earn a fair bit at CDI/CDL, probably between 3-5 million won per month excluding housing. In practice it is not worth the risk trying to get a job with them.

CDI advertises big bucks, but don't be fooled. If you go on the hourly rate, they don't provide housing, pension, or health insurance. Sounds good, if you are Korean.

Maybe that's why they hire so many Gyopos. More than any place I have seen.

I think most of us would agree that we need housing, pension, and health insurance since we have no family here to support and help us.

Do you think it's any good for an f-visa guy? I already have an apartment, so I don't need the housing.
