Heh don't I know it! , then again this was probably why I shagged so few WGs this trip, running out of money (I saved a huge amount) but what I have left I'm setting up my own company.
But to freelancer you're wrong, if you don't give a fuck about face then it pays well,
In HK NET teaching jobs with fuck all qualifications for white skins pays 22K~30K. When I was in HK the jobs I saw were offering 8-14K (for locals) for a graduates with 3+ years experience. I can see which one pays better. My cousin delivers bottled gas he makes 13K works 12 hours a day 7 days a week he's been therefor 6 years, my other cousin same works in an office been there for 3 years earns 11K.
Same in Korea the teachers make 3.2-4 million KRW, my friend Ms Choi has worked for an airline for 7 years and only makes 2 million Won.
Also you make the mistake of uselessness, in that many Americans make this mistake in Korea i.e. they go teach english while spending the rest of their time drinking, if you teach and intend to return the key is that you do something else like get an MA degree or something or even a PhD while you are teaching. The english teaching job is to tide you over for this period.
There is also the issue of returning, although I'm old enough to never say never, if I leave the UK I have very little intent on returning to the UK, there is nothing here for me. | |
