Why stick it out in a rough job market when you can have the opportunity of a lifetime?
Come back to the U.S. after the Korean exchange rate picks back up. Korea's currency "Won" is projected to trade at nearly the same value of the U.S. dollar by this summer and should continue down to exceed the U.S. dollar in exchange value. Korea's currency typically trades at a higher value to the U.S. dollar but due to the current economic crisis there has been a drop in exchange value particulary this month. This trend however is not expected to continue due to South Korea's dynamic and vibrant economy which is the 10th largest in the world. (Please check forecasts.org or exchangerates.com for 6-8 month projections and forecasts to keep up with the exchange rate) This means that you can come back to the U.S. with money in your savings and be able to pay off your bills when you come back home! Turn this into your full-time career!
Pay is between 2.1 million to 3.0 million Korean Won per month which is $2000-3000 U.S. depending on qualifications and depending on exchange rate.
Your major expense (RENT) is paid for! Since your own apartment will be free of cost your living expenses are going to be minimal. You won’t have car expenses because South Korea has a very efficient public transportation such as subways and buses which makes it easy to get around and see the sites!

Common questions and answers about teaching in Korea
Q: Do I need to know the language or learn it so I can get around or do my job?
A: No, and you aren’t required to learn it. In South Korea most of the street signs both commercial and transportation are in English. The supervisor that you’ll be working with and the other teachers will have a good command of English.
Q: What is Korea like?
A: South Korea is a highly developed nation and has the 10th largest economy in the world. It is home to industry giants such as Samsung, LG and Hyundai. Seoul which is the capital is one of the few megacities of the world on par with New York, major cities in Europe such as Paris cities in Italy, Spain, Beijing, Taiwan, Tokyo etc. It has all the amenities, luxuries and consumption habits of most western countries (if not more so) but is also surrounded by the charm and beauty of ancient Korean civilization. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say you could make yourself at home in Korea.
Q: What’s the job like? What am I going to do exactly?
A: In short the job is just a lot of fun! You will be working for either an after school English academy or a public school teaching elementary aged students to high school aged students.

The students are fun to work with because they will be curious and interested about you. Work weeks are only 30 hrs and is fairly laid back. Many of the teachers have enjoyed doing this so much that they have turned this into a full-time career and have lived in Korea for years.
Q: What’s to do while I’m in Korea?
A: South Korea has much to offer for those looking for adventure and travel. There are scenic walking tours to extravagant shopping malls. Most of Korea has urban centers with a vibrant night life consisting of Karaoke bars (noraebang), mini DVD movie theaters, 24 hour cafes/restaurants. As a foreigner it’s easy to meet new people and make friends as the ESL teacher community is well networked with many people from all of the world who are there for the same great opportunity. Most teachers have they have never once been bored while living in Korea.
