As a Korean, I can't understand why foreigners who can get paid more in their home countries would come to Korea and get a job that gives them less money.

Post Body

Before anything, I would like to mention that this post has no intention to deride or make fun of any foreigners working in Korea. It is based on pure curiosity.

Yes, I said it. It may be the elephant in the room and some older generations might cast aspersions on me because I am comparing my country to other countries but I was always curious on why foreigners who come from richer countries would voluntarily come to Korea and work unless they are promised the same amount they get in their home countries. I just can't grasp the reason behind it and would appreciate an explanation done by a foreigner.

Comments

because at some point, it's just excess $$..

way more things matter... the culture, a walkable neighborhood, fresh produce being available near you, trustworthy neighbors, diff company culture, etc.

as an American, I'd def live in Korea for a bit. Move there permanently? ehh not with family back home. but I'd love to live there. Germany? fuck no. England? sure. Spain? no. diff cultures appeal to diff people...
