i had a hard time at first because i'm half-korean also. i dont have an F-4 though so its a little different. my mother hasnt gotten US citizenship yet.
when i finally landed a job, they screwed me over because they figured the foreign labor laws and my contract shouldnt apply to me.
anyway, i ended up quitting and landed an amazing public school job in less than a week. try jj recruiting. they made the process so easy and gave me tons of support when i was stressed over my last job. they were more than happy to hire me despite being half-korean. |

With an F4 you can take the first job that comes along (usually within a week or so), work till you find something better and move on.
You have the ability to change jobs at will and work your way up to something decent without the hassle that an E2 teacher has to put up with.
1st crap job puts jingle in your jeans and a roof over your head.
Find something better and move along at will.
Repeat till you have what you want.
