Default Re: Do you make enough money in ESL as a career?

But could you do this as a career in China? Could you see yourself staying there forever?

Would you be able to make enough in the long run to cover retirement?
Good point. In Korea, you can. I wasn't going to post what I make here, but I've noticed that someone else has. So here it goes:

3 million won a month (about 2500USD a month)
Free apartment walking distance to work
3 months paid vacation
12 hours a week during fall and spring semesters/10 hours a week during summer and winter semesters.

I pick up extra work at the University's academy, 8 hours a week, and earn an extra 1.5 million Won a month (1,200 a month)

So, in total, 20 hours a week and I earn 3,700USD a month. My wife is the same, but without the academy work.
