What jobs are typically suited for an english major?

What are some good jobs in SEOUL for a fluent english speaking korean?

• I was born in India and have been here all my life. All these years, I became good at english, both in speaking and writing. Exceptional speaking skills. Can speak Korean fluently, but have some trouble in understanding, because of a few complicated words and vocab that I don't know. But now, I plan to go to my homecountry Korea(Seoul) for higher studies. I plan to collect some funds before getting into college and am CLUELESS on what kind of jobs I can apply for. I've never had teaching experience, nor do I have a B.A degree in English. I just got out of High School. I'm 18! Any suggestions? I'm looking for USING my english skills somewhere, maybe like a Tour Guide, where I can USE my english for foreigners and help in basic translation. Any other such suggestions? PLEASE HELP!! ITS MY future in your handS!! ^^ lol. Thanks.

• Answer:

  If you want to make good money, your best bet is being an English teacher/tutor, or working for an international company (however, these corporation jobs are very hard to get and usually long-term). When speaking of Korea cost of living and salaries, you must first determine which part of the country you will be living and working in. This is the same type of setup that other countries have as the Korea cost of living and salaries varies by area and the economic development of said area. For instance, you cannot expect a poor village to offer a high rate of pay and low cost of living anymore than you would expect a low salary in the big city areas.
