Japan, I think, is the same and it is VERY competitve. I'm sorry for your situation though, that sounds really tough! Best advice I have is to talk with different recruiters and see what they have to say.Amy Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838520072042940901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311417254611882341.post-20533391049933617722011-03-05T09:02:15.034+09:002011-03-05T09:02:15.034+09:00Hi, i graduated in the arts of computer science wi...Hi, i graduated in the arts of computer science with a AA degree, I am doing fine no problems. I was wondering though would teaching overseas be an option for me? i have a wife and a kid, wife is native Spanish and kid is native english as well I. I would prefer to go to japan because i am more well adjusted the their culture better, my wife kinda more attuned with korea because she has worked Eric Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444917507983493802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311417254611882341.post-13408536955918998002011-02-16T02:24:43.880+09:002011-02-16T02:24:43.880+09:00Yes, that's what I needed last year...more for...Yes, that's what I needed last year...more foreigners out my door instead of having to travel 20 minutes by bus (1 hour by subway) to get to them.

I am considering going back as most jobs here seem incredibly boring and the pay is even worse. Thanks for this post...it's a reminder to me of why I went there in the first place, and although I've really wanted to be settled here at home, your post is causing me some excitement about going back again.

If you work with a good recruiter and get a reputable school then you won't have to deal with things like that. Plus, there are plenty of resources in Korea to help you if your school mistreats you in anyway.Amy Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838520072042940901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311417254611882341.post-84579750100127448412011-01-21T11:54:33.124+09:002011-01-21T11:54:33.124+09:00i heard a few horror stories about how teacher wou...i heard a few horror stories about how teacher would be terminated before the completion of their one year work contract.Makihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536278909987091285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311417254611882341.post-45075185988485591252011-01-18T12:03:57.709+09:002011-01-18T12:03:57.709+09:00Matt, I might have to agree with you on the patien...Matt, I might have to agree with you on the patience thing.

They blame the US for all the issues and animosity on their peninsula.<br /><br />I don't have the patience to be a teacher. Do they need someone to go over there and be a lottery winner?
