I'm in this situation right now. As an ESL teacher, we get free housing with no rent, but it is tied to our jobs. The job provides the living quarters. Since I'm leaving this current job August 4th, I need to find a new one or have to stay in filthy hostels indefinitely, until I can get hired by someone else.

I've been looking for a new job now since the day they told me I was being let go, which was now a month ago and five days. They really only hire most of their teachers here twice a year, March and September, which makes being fired in June kinda suck.

I got two job offers. One job offer here in Seoul (which everyone wants to get into, so is a highly competitively job market), but the hours are trash. 9am to 6pm, Monday through Friday. Plus, it's Kindergarten, which is glorified babysitting. Being in Seoul is awesome, but the job would be brutal and I have a good guess I would dislike it, especially since I HATE mornings! I've been working an evening shift, 1pm to 10pm, for two years now.

The other is in a lesser city, Daegu, which is three hours away from Seoul by train, and pretty much the middle of nowhere (it's like Des Moines, but as hot as Dallas or Houston, sitting inside a giant basin), but has short hours, 3pm to 7pm, and when adding up all the hours, pays a little more than the other job. Plus, it's middle school kids, not Kindy brats.

Which job do you think is better? Which would you take?
