There are some exceptions as I have mentioned before. You can get two months work in the summer or winter breaks in Korea and the pay is somewhere around 25-30,000 won per hour or 27-38 USD. This will include meals and lodging, and subtract almost nohing for taxes. On average over the past 13 years, I have earned an additional 6000 USD each year doing the camps and one winter break I managed to squeeze in two camps. The academies are crying for help during those times. You are required to have a four year degree, and sign a contract that is submitted to the Ministry of Immigration. The other part that makes this very attractive is that you can teach privates after the camp session ends (usually about 5:00 pm) and there you are only limited by your greed. Some teachers fleece the parents for 50 bucks an hour while others, including me, will settle for half that or less. Your visa would be for 90 days or 180 if Canadian and since the camps are usually 3-5 weeks, that would give you time to either do two camps, or spend the time wandering round the country.
