ya with a degree you can get a job doing that pretty easy, but its probably long and constant hours, tho the pay is probably decent (compared to minimum wage jobs)

what you might wanna do is try to network and offer enough private classes that you dont have to work for a school.

korean culture is probably not so fantastic , you will be tired every evening and have to sleep for the next day so gaming wont feel so appealing, neither will the culture of drinking and clubbing. welcome to real life i guess

do you know how to teach english? what about teaching in a classroom? this is what these TESL/CELTA courses are for - not for the certificate of having one but for learning how to teach english in a classroom setting. you can basically buy a TESL certificate for like £100 or you can do the super intensive 1-month long CELTA which actually trains you to be a teacher. (on the other hand you can save £1200 and just go without one)

I lived in Korea for over 4 years. I had a friend that was an English teacher over there, he told me he didn't even work that much. He was making decent money too. Since I'm not an English teacher, I'm just going to throw out how much he was making (around $50k a year) if I can remember correctly...
