So far this is going nowhere super fast…my options I’m looking into this year include:

1.) Teaching English as a second language
2.) Working on a cruise line
3.) Getting a work visa
4.) Going to school there

I don’t know which I’ll choose, I’m looking into all of them.

I want to do this more than anything i hte entire world!!! Like, when people ask me what I want to do the truest answer is always ‘live in a foreign country!’ i don’t even know what I want to do with my life. all I know is I want to do it in a foregn country. Preferably Japan! But almost anywhere is cool too.



I feel more alive 16 months ago

when I’m in another country. I studied abroad in Italy for almost a month in 06 and recently came back from a vacation in the Domincan Republic. I even traveled in Europe during the 9th grade.
Now I just NEED to work abroad – I just feel more myself when I’m in another culture…it’s hard to explain.

It’s a mixed bag.

You can make and save a lot of money there. The best way to make sure you have a good experience is to go there before you sign any contracts and see if you like the place, the teachers you’ll be working with, and the bosses. See if you can email the people who currently work there and find out any concerns.

Korea is a mixed bag, and the state department advises against teaching english there. I have to say that I taught there for a year (2002-2003) and was never ripped off, then went back for 2 months in 2006, and was completely ripped off. My bosses never paid me anything, isolated me, and verbally abused me and other teachers, which is the definition of human trafficking. (They also did this to korean teachers too.) So really, you need to try before you buy.

eslcafe.com is a good source of jobs.

Seoul is a fun, but dirty place to work. Respiratory illness was common for me there. It’s very easy to find a job very quickly there.

Jeju Island is beautiful, but remote, and it’s easy for a working foreigner to get isolated and taken advantage of. Police, lawyers, labor boards and immigration boards are sitting on their hands. It’s a travesty of justice.

Stay away from Mr Lee Chan Won, and any of his hagwons (private english schools). (They have many names, including the Oxford School, the Korea Campus Group, and the Jeju International English Village)

Stay away also from ECC schools.

The ESL cafe job boards and blacklists online will tell you more about what to avoid.



Long term goal 2 years ago

Something I’d like to do in the next 5-10 years. I’ll find a job where I can relocate in a different country and from there travel to surrounding countries. Would seriously consider Europe and Asia.

I love it so much! I don’t know if I want to go back… it can be hard sometimes even when you know the language pretty well, but it gives you such a change in perspecitives it’s totally worth it. I want to try working in a few other countries too, becuase it’s by FAR the best way to get to know a culture.



Anywhere in the world... 3 years ago

I hope to find a good job after I complete my MBA. It can be in anywhere in this world…
