I got the craziest job offer the other day! Get this:

4 million won a month!! Sound good? Check out the shedule:

Mon-Fri, something like 3pm-midnight. Plus there's work on Saturday AND Sunday! Seven days a week...oh, but the Saturday and Sunday work is "only for 5 hours" they said.

I'd do this for a month or two to save up some mad cash. But would anyone actually sign up to do this for a year? Could you actually physically and mentally survive a year of that?

[Mosley]

Me? Nope.

I'd never do work like that unless I urgently needed cash for a specific reason.

[nev]

That's clearly mental. Why can't they just get two people for 2 million each, instead of one teacher who'll quit or die within 8 weeks?

Only for 5 hours on Saturday AND Sunday?

No.

No one should work 7 days a week.

4 million won? If you really were interested, I would get the contact info of the former and/or current employees there and try to get in touch with them, if the director (read:owner) lets them out of their pen every once in a while.

That's pretty crazy, why would anyone take that job. You will burn out so quick with that job. Does that job even have vacations? What are the total teaching hours a month for that job?

[chronicpride]

I think anyone that would be that desperate to make that type of cash on that schedule has already decided to make the same amount of cash doing privates.

I just heard from someone that they got a contract at a school in Ilsan that has some crazy schedule, they start at 9 am and end at 9 pm. I know that most of you guys are thinking split shift, but it's not. That person has about 2 hours lunch and I wouldn't reall call that a split shift. She's only going to be getting 2.7 mil for it... Feel bad for her, I wouldn't do that.

[Kiddirts]

I literally make twice that, and I don't work that hard.
