I may have posted in the incorrect forum and if I have, I apologize. How difficult is it for African Americans to get efl jobs in Korea? Ive just read an article that sometimes African Americans fly all the way to Seoul and schools turn them away. This is frightening and discouraging - Im sure I'll get a position because the demand and desparation is high but will I be miserable?

From what I understand it'll take a bit of time with hakwons. But, if you can get into a public school job you'll be all set =)

That works out b/c I want to teach at a public school - I dont trust hagwons actually.
