I'm sorry that I have no advice to offer you. I am in a bad situation too. Aren't you the person who has taught in Korea? What program did you do? How was it?

Yeah, I did GEPIK, I got it from teachsouthkorea.com. It was okay, it was an experience, but there were a lot of cons as well as the pros so we came back home

Ok. How much money were you able to save? I've read that people can save a lot of money in Korea, but don't you have to pay taxes on it?

I've had horrible experiences with all of them. Appleone would tell me about a great opportunity then I get there the next day and they tell me they have nothing. Officeteam sends me on assignments that are all 10/hr when I know they are worth more than that. I worked with a few people at one assignment from office team and they were doing different task than I and were also paid 10/hr.

I basically stopped going to them or getting back to them when they live a voicemail. They always call for an assignment I can't get to (Meaning you need a car and I dont have a license). Or jobs that I am not qualified for.
