Here is the deal:

I was hired and have a job lined up. I had to delay my departure because of an illness.

The recruiter I was working with got a bit snippy and now says I must pay for my own ticket and the school will reimburse me upon arrival. I really don't have a problem with that but I'd like to spend as little as possible out of pocket. Since I've already been issued the E2 visa, will it be a problem (immigration, airline, etc.) to get a one way ticket?

It should be fine with immigration because you already have a visa,
but the airline is the one you have to worry about.

Ask your ticket agent before you pay.

No one should get a round-trip ticket. It makes no sense.

It makes no sense, but some airlines will try and force you to buy one.

It happened to me on my first time to Korea, flight was Air Canada/Korean Air.

I had no visa though, so that might make the difference.

An exit ticket is NOT required if you hold an E2 visa.

If the airline counter agent gives you a hard time, ask for a supervisor.
