I really want to live in Korea. What are good job's a foreigner can get and what do I need to study?

Question

I am extremely fascinated by Korea and one day hope to live there. As a foreigner I've heard that it is difficult to get jobs in Korea unless you speak Korean (which I have been learning for a year) I am about to go to University and I really would like to know what the best job's are in Korea and if a foreigner can get them. It would really help me!!

Answer

Teaching your language. In Korea, they teach English the most. It is like learning French in Canada. Also, you could be a English teacher. If you do not know English, you could be translator.

Answer

Don't teach English Unless it's a part time job tutoring your own classes. Teaching English for EPIK or Hogwans does not pay well. The best jobs in my opinion in Korea are Medical doctor,  Architect, Professional Engineering, Dentist. Actually about the same professions as in the west. Tutor English part-time definitely not for EPIK or HogwAns as they are a waste of time. Actually the average Korean does not want English. But only wants to maintain face for the west. Education Office Managers may want English education and 4 years later the same position filled by another person doesn't care about English.
