 Re: Where can an ESL teacher get the best pay package?Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul,
I think it really depends on your experience, qualifications, and type of job. There are some jobs I could take here in Seoul that would involve me making 4 or 5 million won a month with paid apartment, company car etc. Jobs teaching for a company like LG, Samsung and so on can be quite lucrative. 5 days vacation a year tho......
I'd say that in Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei it is possible to live more than comfortably and save around $1000/month.
For the first time teacher: Seoul probably has the best package. Paid airfare, paid accomodation etc. Cost of living in Seoul isn't cheap but the most important expense is taken out of the equation with housing. |
