I'll finish my hagwon job soon and will hopefully find another in the same city.
What do you wish that you'd known when you started your second year in Korea? |

That there are a lot more bad hagwons than good.
If you find a good one, hang on to it for a few years. |

This!! My first year was a cake-walk. I had no idea. Two or three 75 minute classes a day. In my non-teaching time I surfed the web all day. My 2nd year I wanted to change hagwons to work in a different location. It was so horrible (in my mind) that I walked out of that job 2 months in, started working part-time/privates and never looked back. |

Yes but privates are not legal you do know this... unless you are on a special visa which as a second year I doubt... pay your damn taxes man. |
