A new band that plays Pink Floyd tunes but changes the words to glorify plumbers.

If you feel that bad, why not move over to China?  Like some other 1970's rock contemporaries say....

Saw a uni ad today.

Must have a PhD or MA +2 years full time uni teaching experience or BA + 4 years uni experience in order to be considered.

(Short of a PhD, how can one get the uni experience all unis are asking for for? It’s a catch 22.)

Salary: 2.1. And not even giving free housing anymore, but rather 300k a month, as if that’s enough. To live on campus, you gotta pay the school. Even though you are a “professor” there.

There’s gonna be A LOT of competition for that job. Loads of qualified applicants (qualified as in having  uni teaching experience) will apply. Maybe in the future the salary will become 2.0?

Korean uni teachers make triple / quadruple what the foreign uni teachers get. Both are teaching for credit courses.

I can actually answer that.

The MA + 2 years is not a requirement, it's a preference.
Universities receive government funding depending on the education and experience of their professors. If a professor has an MA and 2+ years, the university receives more money.
The basic requirement to work as an E1 is to have a 4 year degree, and it's possible to get a job with only that (I know several waygs fresh off the boat with only a bachelor's who recently got snapped up by a uni).
 
   Generally speaking, it's only possible nowadays in really remote areas, or if it's a unigwon, or if the university is scrambling to fill unexpected professor vacancies.


Also, this comment is wayyyyy off topic.

Not a huge Floyd fan, but I don't have a clue what song you're parodying here.  Some early Syd Barret ?

Was singing along to this:
___________________ ___________

If an ad says must have “_______” to get the job (to get the 2.1) they almost certainly mean it. Apply anyway and you’ll get binned (and annoy the person looking at resumes). Way more applicants than job opening for Korean uni jobs. One hundred to one. So why would they hire someone that gets them less government money when there are plenty of “qualified” applicants to choose from, including out in the sticks. Some unis went under. Others reduced their English department staff. Hence the high number of qualified job seekers competing to get in.

'The song remains the same?" Oh sorry, that should be in the Red Zeppelin thread.

Yes, of course, you're right.
I meant that there aren't any *government* rules stating that E1 teachers need to have a Master's degree. It's a university level criteria.

Also, if you're looking to get one of those sweet uni gigs, be on the lookout usually around late august or late december. That's when the emergency hires happen, and it'll be an underqualified teacher's biggest opportunity to get in on the uni-life!
  Both of the big unis in my area did not have enough qualified applicants to fill the 10 - 20 open positions they needed for the winter semester of 2020.
