I really want to prepare well. Thank you very much... Anyway I still have much time to prepare... I really appreciate you!

I am also married to a Korean but we decided to live in Philippines due to our work and at the same time let my son finish elementary here. We are planning to go back to Korea after five years. This is only for the sake of acquiring citizenship. At present, I'm about to finish my MA Education major in English, I'm still planning to continue the doctorate program. In between, I will be taking fast track MA sped so that I can work in US after sometime and my son can study there. Miss Betchay, which has a higher salary in Korea... a translator of Korean to English or Chinese or a teacher in Hagwon. I need to earn much when we go there... I am also perfecting my Chinese and Korean these days... I really appreciate all of you Filipinas married to Koreans living in Korea.

Now is it doable? Unlikely.However i think the point is not about their skills, its not even putting them down or anyone. Its about some people going out on public (via internet, writing letters to newspapers, making ads etc) and flaunting that they are good English teachers (on the basis of only god knows). Now, is that right or wrong? For me its not good. Because it would result to a backlash to the more deserving ones. Stereotyping is very prevalent among Koreans. Im sure you know what i mean. Life is hard i know, so i can understand why this is happening. But i think the best way to at least regulate that is by a strict quality control from the government. Some sort of an examination or test. This goes also for any other jobs. For me, what i want is prioritize (give the jobs to) the deserving ones first, while at the same time educating and training the rest. Lets market our best people first ala image investment, then later on the whole country will benefit from it. Peace Your suggestion is good. Now is it doable?
