Wow lots of arguing about how to make 3-4m working 60 hours a week while inhaling 2.5pm in copious amounts and being on crowded trains smelling korean grandpas kimchi, soju, onion, garlic, ciggy medley breath. 3.5 is $3,000... 36K USD a year. What is the average salary of a person with a bachelor's degree?The average person with a bachelor's degree makes a median income of $70,200/year or $1,350.00/week.https://www.creditdonkey.com/average-us-salary.htmlAll of us have degrees do we not? Why are we arguing how to make 50% of what the average person in the USA makes. Are we that much of social rejects that can't compete to make at least 50K? yeah yeah, insurance, taxes, housing.. bla bla. Live in a state with no income tax. take care of your health, live a minimalist lifestyle. Anything is better than living on the fringes of Korean society making a below average salary with zero respect. The good times are over here and you gotta accept it.do a year and gtfo young guns, I'm warning you.
Not everyone is from the US..

3m is ok for after school. be careful, as your schedule will likely change in the summer/winter and you'll be working in the morning, instead of the afternoon. that's the most annoying thing about after school programs as it ruins your other part time jobs
Alberta for example has a $15 minimum which works out to about 2.35million won a month for a 40 hour week.In northern Alberta no one will work for under $18 dollars and rent is cheap as the economy failed. You can literally rent a hotel room for 400-500 a month which includes all utilities.
As has been demonstrated on this site by others, ESL now broadly pays the same as, and in some cases lower than manual labour jobs in factories, farms, construction sites etc. Yeah, you get to sit at a desk for hours but that factory worker stuffing chicken into boxes takes home the same pay as you or more...without that expensive degree you had to pay for as a requirement to get here.
I might have missed this at some point in this thread or another so apologies...how is an after school program job paying 3 million? Do you mean you have your regular day job plus after school for a total of 3 million? Or is this just 3 million without housing?
The wife's probably not content with the man making so little.
Oh and I'm not sure I buy the narrative that higher minimum wages make the cost of living go up.
