Hi, in this video I share my reasons for not renewing my EPIK contract! I love Korea, but I had to think long term and make the right decision for my goals😊.
Thank you for watching!
Cheers,
Makgabo
Hi Sis. I can't wait for Part2. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🏾thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing this with us Makgabo, as someone who is considering being an ESL teacher, this was eye opening. Can't wait for part 2 and all the best for the new chapter of your life you are about to start💗💗.
Thank you 🙏🏾you should 100000% do it! It’s rewarding in its own way! Thank you for watching 🙏🏾
First person from the videos I have watched that talks about standard of living, abit shocked. I thought it's fruit that is expensive but I thought everything else is basically affordable except housing. But sis you are smart for seeing that for you there is no future and being brave enough to get the hell out in short of space of time. I wish I had done that in my current job, I work in an audit firm in SA, I knew I was not gonna get the experience I needed but I stayed now full of regrets but years have passed and now currently going through a wave of regret that I am struggling to get past and just feeling lost. But for once in my life, I am allowing myself to feel it all and be OK with being inadequate but I have set myself a time frame to go through the process of it but I know and will not wallow for ever
If you’re single, no child and no major financial responsibilities, it’s great!you still have a GREAT QUALITY of life, thankfully we don’t pay rent 😂I lived on R11000 ( I’m putting it in rands for context) and I was more than fine. Also I’m not a big spender honestly. You can still change your job 🫠and sometimes it’s good ti feel lost, so you can start figuring it out. If I ever want to teach ESL again, I’ll gladly return to korea 😂
You literally put into words why I came back home too.
🤍 how has it been being back? How are you ?
Great video, I’ve always wondered if you could grow your career as an ESL teacher, this video is insightful. Anyways shout out to you for being courageous enough to leave SA and get to experience it…
Thank you! I think it’s a topic to be discussed watseba! Growth within ESL, but it’s a stable job if you’re in a public school honestly! I loved it
You are not wrong, it is the easiest job in the world. Also it is not a career for young people starting out. it is a stop gap. The majority of agencies or ESL TH-camrs tell you there is no career growth in teaching English. People ignore this for the glamour of being in another country.
Thank you for watching 🫰🏾
But it's obvious that since you teaching English you'll automatically have the experience.
I think it's best to go work there instead of staying unemployed here for the whole year this side.
absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💯
Thank you for this video mntase.
🙏🏾thank you for watching
Bathong my friend u back? I'm in Boksburg, we should meet up
I’m currently taking time to tend to myself 🤍 I’ll let you know when I’m able to meet you. Send me a message
@@makgabomahopo yeah sure no problem
I’ve always wanted to ask. How to do the PPT FOR EPIK application 😭 last month I applied for JEP PROGRAM but didn’t go through because of the PPT, can you plz help
Hello I suggest contacting Korvia, Goldkey education or Korean Horizons. They’ll gladly help you EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND PERFECT YOUR APPLICATION
Financial siya gowa in South Korea 😢 im happy for the experience but im ready to move now
I think Korea can be hard when you have many responsibilities back home !! I’d be happy to help you to move 🤍
Since I don't have any responsibilities, living there might be easy for me?
Great video!👌🏾
Quick Q: is it possible to teach in SK, that is moving with your child/ family?
Yeah people do it, people do it .Check the South Africans in South Korea group for more information from other mothers.
will you be moving to korea for the science teaching job? or will you be looking elsewhere?
Hello, hope you are well. Is there a way I can get in contact with you?
Hi send me a WhatsApp here +27 63 011 8934
Hey I also returned to SA, I can't wait to watch all of your videos, just watched 1 today... I would like to get in touch with you, would this be possible?
Hello you can send me a WhatsApp here +27 63 011 8934
Thank you for watching 🙏🏾
Are you still teaching in SA
Hey can I go teach English in South Korea with Business and accounting majors
Yes I majored in Life Sciences &Natural sciences
@@makgabomahopo alright thanks 🫠
Please can you tell us if the salary is worth moving from South Africa to South Korea? You don't have to mension the salaries just please estimate.
Hello Nomcebo, if you’re unemployed and have nothing it’s absolutely worth it. It’s a good head start and salary increases with your experience! So yes it’s a 10000% worth it, in my opinion.I would gladly go back to Korea if I wanted to remain in the ESL industry, but I am a science teacher, and I like science too. For me, it’s more than just money. Even if I could get paid R1 000 000 000 per month in South Africa, I still wouldn’t choose to live here at this point in my life because of the QUALITY of life here. No amount of money can compare to the freedom, convenience and safety I felt living in Korea.The EPIK salary scale is also public

Maybe I’ll do a video and break it down ?
@@makgabomahopo Thank you so much for your prompt response.
I thought the cost of living was low🤣
Really? Why did you think so ?😂 you will never be flat broke and penniless but it’s definitely expensive 😂
The people on TH-cam alway say it's not too expensive. @@makgabomahopo
