Hello, I am about to graduate from college here in the States and speak both fluent Korean (reading and writing is a little hard but I can do up until a middle school level, speaking is near perfect with no accent) and of course English is my primary language so I can read write and speak with no problems. I am Korean but came here when i was four, now looking to go back to find job either as an interpreter or a high school english teacher. I do not know anyone in Korea though so wanted to know how to become either of these jobs and how to apply. I know alot of Koreans are now learning English as a young child in Korea and a lot of Americans move there to teach. Are people like me, fluent in both, still needed in high demand or will I have to fight with a lot of competition? Thank you for your time and hope to hear replies! |

If you want to become a public servant / high school teacher, you'll probably have to do your mandatory civil or military service and have a relevant M.A. degree - but I guess you can do your research concerning these requirements better than I could. Regarding interpreting, here are your options:
