Simple poll:

Would you work Mon-Saturday...3 p.m.-9 p.m. (teaching hours) for 4,000,000 won (no housing)?

This would be for either gyopos or "native teachers" who have their own housing.

[just because]

Why not, over a year you would save quite a bit and only being able to go out one day a week would make you save more.

Need a good holiday at the end, though

[zappadelta]

with housing, yes.

[the_beaver]

Nope. Life is a great game and it's even better to have one outside of working.

[FUBAR]

I think it would depend on the age of the students. If it was uni students or office workers, probably. But 6 days with elementary students or kindys would be out of the question

[Paji eh Wong]

For 6 months.

You could save more in 6 months at that job than a year at a hogwon paying 2.0.

edit. Is this some market research?

[bosintang]

hell, yes, and I'd probably burn out after 6 months. But that's ok, because I'd save an equivent to what I would otherwise make in a year and half (not 1 year, as one poster mentioned, because you would have to factor in the cost of living while working!).

[nev]

It sounds fine to me. But from the view of the employer, why don't they just give two people an easy week for 2 million? I'd think the chances of one person on 4 million running out after 6 months is high.

[Ilsanman]

Maybe your severance would also be 4 million.

Really makes it worth it. Otherwise I'd resign after 6 months.

[trevorcollins]

Same, yes for 6 months. Longer than that would start to mess with your mind.

[weatherman]

PM me, I will take the job.
