how do you feel about south Korea wanting us to pay cost to clean up old bases there before we leave??
After protecting them for 50 years and rebuilding the country they now want us to make the bases we are leaving as good as they were before we arrived. Maby we should give them the bill for the lives lost ther and the money spent defending them..

What jobs could I get in Korea?
What jobs could I get in Korea?
Hello. My name is Jon. I'm a soon to be graduate from America. I was wondering, what kind of jobs do you think would be open to me in South Korea with me being a native-born english speaker, and just my high school diploma? My fiance's home is there, and I would like to work there to make money. I would like a job that could help me with my airfare from here to the work location. Everything else I can handle. I want to get my work Visa as quick as possible if I can get a job. Can anyone give me any ideas please?! Thank you!

I believe you need a four year degree to get a work visa. Most Americans teach English or have a high tech job. But if you marry a Korean citizen that should eliminate the work visa issue. Without knowing native level Korean, your job prospects will be very limited.
2 :
Tutoring, Or become an english teacher, possibly become a singer for kpop like some famous koreans for example (big bang or 2ne1). computer engineer, i like them all you can basically get a job the same way like here in america you can be anything you wanna be.

Its not how much money u need to come here to live... the fact , how you gonna make money here and live in Korea...living in another country is a big challenge ..you need to get a good job as possibe as you can so that you would make a good life in Korea or of course , in another country. I wonder what can you do here for a living? if you graduate from university at least you can work as an English teacher here...there must be have good reasons to live in Korea other than make money anyways if then it wont be that difficoult i think ... for example if you like korean culture it will make you easier to adjustment to a new environment btw, this is what i read, according to OECD survey , Seoul is the top 5 highest expensive cost of living.. sorry for my bad English ... hope it helped ...

I wonder what made you pick South Korea of all places? It is a great country, I can't argue that, but just curious. Well, if you want to start a life there, it's going to take a lot of time and money. I would suggest visiting there first and really experience the culture and environment. See if you can really see yourself living there for a while, as it's hard to just pick up and leave and enter countries. Selecting a city you really like would be a good start. Then look for a job obviously, as it will be your source of income. Moving to another country in general will take a lot of guts cause you won't know anyone there. But you can also start networking; try finding people that live in the city you want to live in. There are actually a lot of foreigners that live in South Korea, you'd be surprised. People think just because they go to a foreign country, they can automatically become an english teacher. But the reality is that, there are a lot of procedures to be certified to be an english teacher, especially in South Korea, as they take their education very seriously. The certified english teachers are the actual english teachers that get paid good amounts. If you are not certified, or have a college degree, then you would be just a tutor or something of that sort at the most; nothing that will attract a steady income. Also, most people that had their studies in a regular public school, tend to fall behind and mostly fail out if they try their hand at education in South Korea. So I wouldn't recommend trying that unless you are very smart, and determined. South Korea's education programs are one of the most rigorous in the world. That is why most South Koreans are very intelligent, especially in subjects of math, science, language, etc. But a down side is that they don't focus on creativity and subjects of that sort. I'm half Korean half English, and did my studies in Seoul when I was in my pre-elementary years. Put it this way, I learned my multiplication and division by preschool, and fractions and decimals by first grade. But after I moved to the U.S., the expectations get lower, so it was a lot more relaxed and slower for me. But, I loved my education in the U.S. because it enabled me to touch on my creative sides more. Anyway, stopping my rant here. Good luck!

What are some tips on finding privates to teach in South Korea? (ESL job)?
What are some tips on finding privates to teach in South Korea? (ESL job)?
Should I network in bars? or churches? Maybe volunteer work? ( I am willing to do volunteer work if I can get students to teach for some extra money) Should I make small talk with people at bookstores and in a subtle way let them know I am an English teacher and see if they are interested? Making flyer's would get me pinched I am sure but what are some good ways to get your name out? Any places online to advertise? Does anybody have any tips or strategies in finding privates and avoid getting in trouble? shop owners? neighbors? that is a surefire to get in trouble you jerk. Like you want me to get deported, idiot. thanks dude

I think all of your suggestions are great. A good way to get privates is just to talk to as many people as you can. Talk to your neighbors, shop-owners etc. If you can get one this way, and charge something on the low side, before you know it you'll have more than you actually want, because word will spread. I know it sounds simple, because it is, but just talk to as many people as you can and the privates will trickle in. Another tip: Find foreigners who are on their way out of Korea. I got a great "hand me down" private from a friend who was finishing up his contract. His private wanted to continue, and he suggested me. Again, once your foot is in the door, you'll be able to expand via your current students. Hope that helps.

The best method is word of mouth. Talk to a lot of people (especially Koreans) and the offers will come your way. Don't waste your time or effort with flyers or online advertising. It doesn't work. Target professionals (people with money) Tips to avoid getting in trouble: 1) Never talk about the privates that you're teaching to coworkers. 2) Provide the student(s) with a high quality lesson. 3) Don't charge too little. (40K /hr. and up is the going rate)
