It all began back on that fateful day in 2003 when I got on the plane to come to Korea. Since then, I’ve moved up in the world from a hagwon, to a university in the rice paddies and now I live in the big city with the beautiful beaches, Busan where I teach at a major university. I’ve paid off all my debts, saved up lots of money, and invested in the stock market after the crash of 2009 such that I’m on my way to becoming a millionaire. All that to say, I am well-qualified to offer advice about getting a university job in Korea, personal finance for ESL teachers, or anything related to ESL games and activities.
