Here's a whole article about teaching English in Korea. I found it on the State Department's website. I was looking to see if there were any travel warnings for South Korea, and there are none, so that is good for you. Here is the link to the article, TEACHING ENGLISH IN KOREA, OPPORTUNITIES AND PITFALLS, http://travel.state.gov/travel/living/teaching/teaching_1240.html

Don't know about Jersey, but there are MANY jobs in NY State.  Schools are hiring NOW.  Don't wait until you get your degree.  April is normally when schools here have their budgets in place and teachers know what they're going to do next year (leave, stay, retire, sabbatical). The best jobs will be available over the next couple of months.  From past experience, the ones that open up in August are not always in the best districts.  Go to your college's placement office, check the Sunday newspapers, and have your resume ready to go.  My job is being excessed in June, and I've already applied to MANY schools.  If you are teaching in a shortage area (math, science, languages, special ed.), you will have your pick of jobs.

I agree with most of the stuff that the former said. But it is AIT not MIT, also most likely you will have to complete some sort of security background for your clearance. I'm not going to lie, I would expect to go overseas sometime in your career, but trust me it is a great experience. My best tour of duty so far was in Korea I learned so much and had a ton of fun. I also worked hard and learned a lot. Currently I'm in the Middle East and it really not that bad. Just make sure you ask questions to your recruiters, and check up on things until you are comfortable with the answer they give you. The military is a great life, you get a real sense of belonging and honor while your in. It is hard on you and you family, but there are great support groups. Now as for MI, if you like to take info and trends and develope various reports and briefs then its for you. Its one of the safer jobs out there, but you can be put into harms ways depending on your assignment. Its your choice, just make sure you have all the info you need.

yes loads of contacts, try accommodation office for local university. They need to be police checked and approved. Lots of English language schools use our facilities out of term time.  Would this be like the US Ambassador programme?

I was teaching English in Seoul, South Korea.\n\nOne of my students was on his honeymoon in Phuket. They left one day before it hit. He seems like a nice hard working guy. He almost broke down in tears in the classroom because he was just there.

Check out the internet.  Lots of jobs to be had on Dave's ESL Cafe.  I'm teaching in Korea right now and recommend it.  The pay is a little better than in China and I think we get more holidays here too.

Contact the schools that train teachers.  I would start with the International House network- contact the schools that train CELTA students.  Make sure your school is a good place to work or else your reputation will be ruined really quickly!  Everyone in the ESL world knows which schools have bad working conditions and bad salaries!

Maybe the best way is to study abroad. Filipinos speak good English and you can actually find a lot of English classes that cater to foreigners. I myself have met a lot of Koreans who are taking English classes in my school. I think they choose to come here to learn English because it is cheaper than going to the U.S.. Surf the net for English classes for foreigners in the Philippines. Try to go to the University of the Philippines (U.P.) website and contact them through email or phone, you choose. There are other schools offering English classes for foreigners, however. U.P. is just one of them. Good luck! :)

I think that you only know what is best for you. If you experienced better relationships in Korea than I think you need to decide what you want more right now. Your career or a relationship. It is very hard to have a steady commited relationship when you have a job that keeps you as busy as you are. I think you should think about what is right for your future right now, and than think about settling down. Unless you really want to make a career change, just to find a man, I think you should probably stick with what you enjoy doing right now. There is plenty of time for marriage. Who knows maybe you will meet the right person in UK. Than you will have your job and you can get married. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do...

their syntax (word order) is completely different compared to English, but....\n\nif you are genuinely interested in the language, you won't have any difficulties with it. \n\nyou can learn and write in their alphabet in 30 minutes.\n\ntrust me, i have been learning korean for the past several years and i'm loving it.

My daughter also has a similar Korean dream -- and we are in the San Jose area and she is in high school!  Look at San Jose State University (or talk to a counselor at SJSU) and you will find that they have an international study abroad program -- including KOREA!  No, they do not teach Korean at SJSU, but....you could do a semester or year abroad in Korea (I've read that some Korean schools will even pay you if you teach English to other students because they are very hungry to know English).  You need to get your parents, or yourself to go to SJSU and check it out.  Forget UCLA.  Go to SJSU, go on a semester or year abroad in Korea, AND get college credit -- depending on what else you like, maybe major in computers, Education, or Asian Studies.  Most majors will let you do study abroad and give you credit.  That way, you'd be in your home area, get your education, and learn Korean while LIVING there!  Check out the San Jose State University website and search for Study Abroad programs, and if you can't find it like that, then just email one of the departments you're interested in.  Good luck.  It is definitely possible!

It all depends on what type of jobs you  are seeking. Not everyone in Korea can speak English, so you can't really seek any other work except teaching English language. The people you deal or work with when teaching English can actually speak some  English, so there's no problem there.\nBut in other fields, you will really have some problems if you don't know any spoken Korean language. You will be surprised that hardly anyone can speak any English at all unless you go to the international hotels. So I suggest you learn some Korean before coming going over there or you will become very frustrated..

Well u should tell ur parents how u really feel and do wat u want to do.  and no offense but i don't see why u would go to Korea to act and sing (unless its like ur home country if thats the case then sorry).   but u have a better chance of making it here in teh US and u should definately DEFINATELY tell you parents how u feel

In general yes, but I would start as a supply teacher for a couple of months. That way you'll gain valuable in-classroom experience that you will need when you have a class of your own. Besides, it's May right now. I will supply until September when classes start. Then again, summer school would be a nice experience as well.

If you are in the military you can ask for help through the Chin Hae base near Pusan South Korea.  Email them and \n\nSupport@chinhae.sk.navy.mil\n\nThat is all I know.
