This week came as a bit of a surprise… My visa for my Job fell through! I'll spare you the boring details but this means I cannot work at a video production company, In fact my only other option is to do English teaching.
Ever since I decided that I want to come to Korea I have avoided the Teaching route, It seemed like a crowded and too obvious path for my liking, plus it didn't do well to serve my purposes in terms of learning Korean. The main reason for not wanting to teach though, i think is that I don't like the idea of participating in an education system that I disagree with. But then again maybe thats exactly why I should teach.
Now that I have been somewhat forced onto the wide path, however, I feel more at ease about it. I think it will be a good challenge and experience for me.
Also Korea loves English so the incentives are great: salary, housing, holiday, even working hours, can be much better than most Koreans get in their Jobs. So yeh… Just got to find the right school
Ahh no! I'm so sorry that your visa fell through :( But am really glad that you're seeing the positive angle and that teaching is still a good way of staying in the country. Will you be able to re-apply?
