Thinking about going to South Korea...

Your view of education is a immature one, although one repeated on this board ad nauseam by the hordes of poker players that drop out.

I've had friends that did this and had an absolute blast in Korea. Taught English, partied, and came back in a couple years. Their main problem was that they would be well behind their peers and old friends professionally when they would return.

You're young enough to do this and have fun, but you'll want to eventually return and when you do you will find your options(professionally and perhaps socially) will be severely limited w/o a college degree in the US.

jungy121, if u are still korean citizen and hold korean passport, u will most likely have to go to the army. if u are male and korean citizen, u have to report urself to this conscription office thing in airports, that u have entered the country. i have a few friends who actully got caught in the airport and had to go to the army. if u don't want to go to the army, i advise u to look for teaching jobs elsewhere in asia.
