| why not check the other 47 polls on how old are you. so you think that everyone who teaches in Korea is 35 or younger - you really must be FOB. |

| Well, at least I don't feel so bad anymore. I'm 27 and I was starting to think that I was falling behind in life. But now I see that there are lots of older people who still do crap jobs like teaching in Korea. |

Oh, I should add that I lived in Korea long-term between the ages of 21 and 26.

It seems that you're still working up to being a failure and working at a crap job in a foreign country... |

I wouldn't exactly call my job crap. I enjoy what I do, I get paid pretty well and I'm good at it as well. It also doesn't hurt that I get 5 months of paid vacation a year.
Just because you have a crap job doesn't mean everyone does. |

| Let's see- You've been a member on this ESL forum less than a month and you're calling the profession a crap job. And it's implied you don't even live here yet? Why even bother coming? No one wants a stain like you on the environment. |

Money!
$25,000 a year + a free apartment + no need for a car.
I'll walk away after 12 months with $20,000 easy, tax free |

My mistake. I figured nobody in their right mind would still be doing such a "young" type of job that pays so little. |
