Teaching in Korea: Why You SHOULD Choose a Hagwon

New blog from Once A Traveler, currently teaching at a private English language school (hagwon) on the east coast of South Korea. This vlog mentions the reasons you should avoid hagwons under most circumstances, but also the reasons you might consider one.

Hi there, i love your vids!!! I'm currently a nurse student here in Texas and want to go to Korea as soon as i graduate... Well, i want to stay in Asia for some years, at least, that's my plan. The thing is, when i tell people here that i want to go to Korea to teach english and maybe in the future find something more related to my healthcare field, they call me crazy. They think i'm doing something stupid cause how can i go to Korea if i can stay here and make a lot of money with my nursing...

Three sick days for me, too. When I was sick as a dog my boss harassed me until I came into work. It was only when I had to run from the class to vomit that they realized I "MIGHT" not just be "exaggerating because I was a westerner."

After the horrible time I had in my hagwon being treated like a tool by my male boss (YOU ARE A WOMAN AND YOU NEVER SPEAK OR QUESTION ME IF I AM SPEAKING - quote) I will never, ever go back to another hagwon ever again. Hagwons are just..... not safe. At all.

Your video brings back all my bad memories of Korea.

Even the "good" hagwons are managed greedily or like crap. Really, at best you can say only 60 percent of hagwons are bad.

I appreciate your input! I just happened to interview with a small rural hagwon today.

That is such a early cut-off time for buses.
