teaching abroad is basically something i have wanted to do forever, and with camp ending in a few weeks, and not having registered for classes and unsure about returning to the photo company, i'm wondering if this program is legit or not. it seems pretty sketchy, but the numbers and job postings suggest otherwise. what do you all think?

I don't know about that place but definitely do your research.

Right after I graduated I was applying to jobs and I applied for one teaching English as second language in Korea. They offered to pay for my flight, find my lodging close to the school, etc. It was all very fast and I almost did it. The closer it came to make my decision I started asking them more and more questions and they became very vague about things. I did some more research and it turns out that the place was very sketchy. Issues with payment and if you decided you wanted to leave then they wouldn't pay your way back, etc.

I don't want to scare you off from this but really do your research because there are some scams out there.
