600 a month saved, eh? I can believe it. Changwon is beyond 'pretty' expensive. After discovering I'll be teaching a bunch of rich brats, as well as discovering a large pizza costs 35 bucks and toothpaste costs 9 bucks a tube, I've flown the Korean coop.
Dude--I saved more than you back in the sticks of Thailand making 700 a month. I got free food and free housing--something you probably won't get in big-town Bangkok.
Someone wrote in a post on Dave's ESL cafe a few months back warning all those going to Korea to teach to not ask for less than 3 million won a month. I know you won't get it, but I understand now what he was talking about. I'd ask for a minimum of about 3 million to stay in SK and teach the rich brats I had in my 'classes'. I won't work for chicken feed pay anymore, so I guess I gotta head home.
Live and learn.
Where are the good jobs in this business?
