Yikes! 2.1 and no plane ticket to Korea from Poly? Used to be in country applicants had a bit of an advantage because the hagwon wouldn’t have to pay for airfare ... but since they don’t anyways these days, that leverage is gone. T___T
Please tell me no on e will accept that. Time to find these foreigners accepting the low offers and beat the crap out of them. Kind of like how a union put pressure on the workers back in the day. I'm kidding, but wonder if it may come to that. Hopefully, the place gets shunned.
There are probably multiple people vying for it.
Hard to believe there are folks that dumb. Go around the world to work for minimum wage.
Better than not working at home and living out of mommy's basement. What really gets me about this one isn't even the pay, its the no airfare. Although honestly I'd rather stick with the basement than work for a hagwon at that salary.
Corona unemployment is temporary. In the long run, living at home and making slightly above minimum wage probably would allow for a faster repayment of student loans now. Of course it's always the cost of living that is factored in. 1800 US dollars a month starting in Korea versus Vietnam even with some rent paid, your money goes further. But with some experience and TESOL, you can get into 2000 and 2200 and up range. Very cheap living cost means more savings and paying off loan faster. 2,1 is not such a great deal anymore. I get temporary corona imposed unemployment. But unemployment is falling fast. By next year back to normal. If I lived in some of the more booming areas of the US, I would be working there and making more money if I could live at home for a while. Korea is not worth it at 2.1. Maybe if you tell yourself do a year and hop to another country perhaps. But slightly above minimum wage is not worth it. I'd say a lot of ignorant people who didn't do their research.
People are desperate to get into the United States but wages aren't that great? (More people tryin' to get in than get out.)
I'd love to see some actual stats on like, everything you just said, if possible.
It just makes sense. Logically. Don't let facts get in the way of how it feels. Ask yourself if anything he wrote doesn't make logical sense. Because that's all I need.
USA: 328 million.SK: 51 million.Koreans living in America: 2.5 million. How many Americans in Korea? 16 million? No. 1.6 million? No. 160,000? No. Meaning the ratio is skewed more than a hundred to one.
