I recently just quit after working 3 years at KoreanClass101.com, and InnovativeLanguage.com. It was a great experience to learn, which I did a lot of, but towards the end, there was not much learning involved, and more of “just do what you’re told” (which I’ve never been really good at anyway).
So I left New York and came to Korea to work at Webactually.co.kr. I figured a start-up Internet marketing agency would be right up my alley. But instead of doing any marketing, all I did was translations of e-mails the boss wanted to send. Not very stimulating if you ask me. Plus, it seems like my 3 years of prior start-up experience around the web was about 3 years more experience they had.
So my buddy Howard hooked me up with a job at his English Academy. They’re giving some pretty decent pay, with work hours starting from 4PM – 10PM, which I love, but also hate at the same time. I love that I can work on anything I want to before 4PM, but getting home at 11:30 PM is proving to be quite a challenge.
I’ve always said I wanted to do my own thing, produce my own content, and possibly even make an effort to monetize that content. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, and to be honest, I still only have a vague idea. I would still need money for hosting and domain, so I’m waiting till my next paycheck. But when I get it, hosting and domain will be right after a bottle of bubbly, cigar, and possibly gold grillz on my list of things to get.
Until then peeps. Please be kind
Good luck with everything! For what it’s worth I’ve learnt SOOOOO much from you on KC101.
I still listen to your old podcasts and stuff. LOL.
Great to hear that you still learning from my stuff
Thanks for the wish of good luck. But more than that, I just need some drive
Hello
Since I’m a newbie here I will make a Marathon back to back of your posts. So, this is how it started?
Ha I knew it was you! I was watching your Seoulistic channel on YouTube and thought your voice sounded so familiar. When I started learning Korean the KoreanClass101 podcast on iTunes was the first thing I started using. You were the first person to ever teach me Korean. Without your podcasts I would have never met my Oppa. Thank you so much for sharing Korean culture with me and every else that wants to learn. I’m glad I found your channel and blog so I can learn more great things from you.
