From my experience, in Korea you can find a reliable salary, and lots of things included for you, they really give you a good package. But in China, the bottom line is there's more potential. The country's economy is growing, and it's a bit like a gold rush. There are many opportunities to get rich, you can also make good money teaching. For example with my current job, if i really pull it out, and do a lot of extra hours (still just 5 days a week, but longer days) I can make 70K US per year, but that doesn't include expenses, of course.
Wow 70k US? A guy told me he went there and was paid well. I would do that in a HEARTBEAT. Crime is lower too. But I still wanna learn Spanish, so I am torn.
PS. Are you applying to Teacher's College Columbia University???
