Travel Tips
Look into teaching ESL. Learning conversational English is in high demand in Korea, all over the country. If you really have the right motivation and character, degree or no degree, it's all but guaranteed that you will secure a job.

Although it's not necessary, you may actually want to acquire some form of TESL certificate. Training can be anywhere from a couple months to a year. If you live anywhere near an immigrant population, volunteer to teach at least a few weeks for at least 'some' experience.

You will be paid relatively well and even more so than plenty of native Koreans with families to take care of. On top of that, you will be given a nice place to stay, rent free. It's totally feasible to save 10-15k American dollars a year and still live comfortably. So, should you decide to make a go of it, bring your respect with you and be open-minded. You will be living in a different world. Good luck.

I am Korean and try making a good resume. Fisrt things first try working in boutiques and little stores. It's nice working there
Become an English teacher. Many corporations desire their employees to speak English.
Ignore the people that are telling you to teach English. You can not legally teach English in Korea without a BA degree. Period. Full stop. End of story.

You can illegally teach and risk getting deported, fined, and screwed over even more than legal teachers get screwed over. Very Bad Idea.
I teach English in Korea. Legally.
The above poster is so right you cannot teach legally without a degree. And unless you have a 4 year or higher degree you will not a visa to work there either. Yoou can go without a visa but have to stay less than a certain amount of days. If you over stay the amount of days you will be fined upon exiting the country. The fines are not small! Also the suggestions about working in a boutique are good but I am thinking you most likely do not speak Korean which woudl be a neccesity if you are not going into the teaching or business field where English is the major language spoken by most in those areas. Also a very high percentage of the Korean people attain bachelors degrees or higher your competition for any job will be steep in comparison to those with a degree. Why not try a work study program you could work on a college degree while living in korea. AN d a last suggestion though I am not entirely sure Korea does this I know China does, you could go as a nanny and take care of children to immerse them in English. As mentioned not sure if Korea does this or if it requires a degree. A friends mom did this in China, she took care of 2 little boys and lived in their home for a year. Good luck wiht whate ever you choose.
