Thanks Micheal. I think I mentioned the money part simply cause I think that hagwon teachers are way underpaid and that there IS money to be made in Korea, though its really hard to earn with the way the system is set up. Also I may have been trying to express irony in that my only goal when I got there was to earn enough money to pay my tuition and my living expenses. I just tried to be a good teacher and I judged my success by the improvement of my students.

Sorry if I came off as money grubbing. Its funny, I never sought out the big bucks but it just seemed to find me.
