thanks for the video. I have abundant experience as an Educator here in the States (10 years). Im now strongly considering teaching in S. Korea. I have previously taught in Indonesia (2000-2003). My question is simple-- how much money is it possible to make in a year given my background.

@mincqua It really depends on what kind of job you go for, the salary you obtain, and how you live. Many teachers in Korea who want to save, live modest lives and save up more than 10k USD.

Do you know if Dreamworks Recruiting is a good company to work for?

[qiranger]

@dianetheo No sure what you mean. I've used Dreamworks to obtain a position and have been very happy with it!

Thank you for the information, however it seems that finding the right school is kind of luck of the draw. Would you be kind enough to recommend any schools or put me in contact with someone who can.

Thanx  Mark James Brazil.

i was just wondering, what do you mean by "the free day"? also, are the school days in korea from monday-friday or monday-saturday? because i know a few countries do mon-sat and was just wondering in south korea was one of them.

hi you mentioned that having "the free day", if you work from 4 to 10 are you well off financially?
