I couldn't help but notice that your screen name says you're a pinoy. That means you're from the Philippines, right?

I hate to break it to you, but Koreans are extremely, extremely racist against Filipinos. If you are a Filipino citizen, you will either not be able to find a job, or if you find one, it'll probably be for something insultingly little like $700 a month. However, if you're a Filipino with American citizenship and can convince them that you're a native speaker (and maybe hide the fact that you're Filipino), you might get treated a lot better.

If you have a US passport, I'd actually lie about my heritage if I were you. Say you're hispanic. Say you're half white, half black. Just don't say you're Filipino, because the Koreans believe that the Filipinos are little slaves who only exist to do their bidding.

There is great demand in Korea for English now more than ever, because all the teachers are leaving because of the horrible exchange rate. Some people say Filipinos will replace Americans, Canadians, Brits, etc. I don't know whether that's true or not, but one thing is certain -- they will not hire Filipinos and pay them 2.1 million won a month. They will stick the Filipinos with pathetic little 1.0 million won a month wages if they can.

I hate to have to be this frank to you, but Korea is a fascist country, and just like Nazi Germany, it organizes people into "inferiors," "almost equals," and "Koreans." This is not a land of tolerance and acceptance like Canada, New Zealand, or the USA!
