And previously an English teacher.
Wanna bet it's one of those SJW things to avoid "ableism"?
I spent 5 years teaching English in Korea. I absolutely loved my job most of the time (i.e. when I was allowed to be a teacher who educated students). I took it seriously and took pride in what I did.
But FUCK ME there are so many pathetic Americans there. Especially in Seoul -- people who treat their life in Korea as "oh my gap year abroad teehee" and who see their job as 'the annoying thing that gets in the way of my partying.'
I'm sure it's similar in Japan, too.
What I'm saying is that these people are emotional fucking morons who rely on pushing their worldview everywhere because they can't stand to exist outside of it.
Oh, that must have been a great time.
I tutor English one-on-one on the side, which I really like, but having a whole entire class of kids must be crazy.
Teaching English in Asia is something that always sounded kinda fun to me. Then again, I would probably enjoy it most out in the countryside, I'm not a city type person.
Absolutely loved the "countryside" - a misnomer in Korea since even cities of 1-2mil people are considered "the country" because they aren't Seoul.
It was a blast, too. Especially my really high level teenage classes. But I loved all of my students, from K to high school. It was a different challenge every day.
