I had the impression most English teacher in Korea were young grads, fresh from student life. But I've seen a few posts that suggest some of us are much older. So, I am curious to know the ages of the people who post on this board.


As for me, I'm a young 27.

Maybe it doesn't accept plus signs.
Try it again, writing out the word "plus."
Then I can vote.

On some of the resume Websites, I have to lie about my birthdate because the drop-down menu doesn't go back far enough.
Am I a longevity case?

I'll be 39 by the time I make it to Korea. I was under the impression that the median age of posters was around 21.
