Teaching ESL in Korea...viewer questions

Loads of people have been emailing me and asking questions about my first ESL in Korea vid. I chose a few questions to answer. Hope it helps anyone thinking about taking the ESL plunge!

If this vid was helpful in any way, think about SUBSCRIBING to my channel :) ...there are sure to more vids coming soon!

I was just sent some very interesting information by some readers of my blog....

Pierre & Angèle said, "My wife and I arrived in Changwon, S. Korea in January and we had to go through the new process. You are required to submit to a blood and urine test once you land in S. Korea to get your E2 Visa. If you leave the country while you are in S. Korea you may have to redo the test once you come back. Depending on the user, most drugs can take up to 90 days to get out of your system."

To start your own company? Be a grandfather?

To be a teacher?.....no....many teacher in America, Canada and the U,K. start their careers at that age!

I don't appreciate recruiters trying to head hunt on my channel.

You should make some videos about it on your own channel and promote yourself. I don't like "ads" placed here!

thanks

Do they have marijuana in South Korea?

[BusanKevin]

I'm sure they do. They also have MUCH stronger laws against it than in Canada and the States. My advice....stay dry while in Korea! For a good time, remember....the beer is cheap :)

how come some schools state if you have a degree you get so much and a diploma you get less i have the equivilent of a associates degree or diploma, can I get a job in Korea. Is it B.A./M.A. or nothing cause i really wanna work

[pheeeel17]

@DiscoBuiscuit  Thats probably because the nationalities that can get the E2 visa are from predominantly white countries.

[proconsulaugustus]

Kevin, do korean women 20-30 find being a ESL teacher is crappy or really great?

[DiscoBuiscuit]

Is there a race card at play when these employers hire teachers? I've been noticing that ESL teachers teaching abroad are usually white.

[jovoncw]

My friend and I both want to teach at the same school and i do not know how to go about this. any info would be helpful.

I have taught in Japanese public schools before. Hours vary from 8:00 - 3:30 or 8:30 - 430 or so. How about at Korean public schools?
