To add to my previous post, not only can they cancel it before it starts with no penalty, they can do it anytime before the 6 month mark in most cases. In fact, you could end up owing them money, depending on how your contract is worded (airfare, etc.).

You just need to find a good hagwon and trust that they are good people. Always check with people working at the school. I talked to 6 NET's and they all recommended it. There is a lot of work, 45 hours a week (33 50 minute classes), but I don't mind work, less time to spend my money.

That's just life. I have friends who signed six figure contracts with big companies only to have their offers rescinded. They had rejected other offers to sign with these companies, too.
