| With a lot of schools losing funding, what are your plans for the spring? Stay in Korea and work at a Hagwon? Get a job with EPIK or SMOE? Go Home? |

i'm already 300,000 below what my experience and certifications deem me eligible according to the pay scale chart. |

I'll let you know when my plan comes to past. 
What did happen (but wasn't my initial plan) was to go home for an extended vacation.
Not sure if you can change/add options on your poll, but what a lot of people were doing when the hiring freeze first went into effect was switch over to after school programs. And some people changed countries. |

Well, going home could fit under that category, too. I'm hiding out at my parents' house. 
After school program or teaching in another country could be considered moving on to better things.
China isn't hiding out, is it? I'm considering going there sometime in the future. |
