How difficult is it to move there and find a simple job/place to rent? Also what kind of jobs are common that aren't in the food business and/or teaching? I may consider doing that after college. I can pick up a language relatively easily, so I am not worried too much about lack of knowledge as far as speaking goes.


There aren't many common jobs outside of food, teaching, or military. Those 3 industries make up the vast majority of foreigners. There's a few engineering-sorts that are in Korea doing contract jobs, but generally they are here employed by foreign companies.

I have seen foreign lawyers--helping other foreigners with legal issues, and dentist assistants--doing both schooling and on-the-job training, so there's clearly other jobs out there that foreigners can have and apply for, but I wouldn't know how to go about that. I'll ask some Korean friends more about this later.


Teaching jobs are always based on 1-year contracts, so if you want to find a job in Korea, it might be good to get a Teaching job to get you into the country at first, then look for other jobs once you're in the country. Most companies who hire even foreigners prefer foreigners that are already in the country.

It's not too hard to find places to rent, but this obviously depends on location. Rent can get really expensive in the richer areas of seoul.

How is BW doing these days? HOw is SC2 doing?

SC2 seems to be picking up a bit of steam, BW is lingering on but will probably never reach it's former levels of popularity.

How easy was it to go to Korea and get a job?

You normally get job offers and sign a contract before you actually come to Korea. I had numerous job offers only two days of applying. Super easy for me, but it might not be this easy in the near future due to some job cuts.
