i'm just starting my second year in korea. i've been teaching at a company for two months. the pay is 2 million for 40 hours a months(teaching ours 7-9pm).

i am looking for another job. i've got some offers, but most of the schedules that i could teach were at kiddie hagwons. i'm not sure if i a) want to teach 10 hours a day, and b) not sure if i want to trust another hagwon owner.

currently, i am on a 90 day tourist visa, so eventually i will need sponsorship (the company i work for tried to sponsor me for a non e-2 visa, but immigration would have none of that). the problem is that i feel like i have a great job now, and would be taking a chance of signing up with a school, that would down the road try to screw me over.

is there anyone out there who has been in a similar position, and how did you handle it? thanks

Sure, 2 Million WON a month for working only 10 hours a week, illegally at that is great

First consider working legally in this country and then try to get permission to add an additional working position and notify immigration ... make more money and work legally
