<p>I'm going 27-28. Anyone else going then and doing the early arrival thing?</p>

3

<p>Most likely I'm going 27-28, but not early arrival.</p>

4

<p>:( Aww. Who am I going to hang out with then <em>sigh</em></p>

5

<p>@ this time the only place i might be able to go is like the Hong Kong one but that takes too much effort.. sigh</p>

6

<p>Aww why? :( Are you going to Korea for the summer?</p>

7

<p>Yup, i am. That's what i do every summer now.. >.< get a job teaching english~ wheeee</p>

8

<p>Ooh. You must get a lot of money. Korean people are crazy about getting their kids to learn English haha</p>

9

<p>I get paid like 20 dollars an hour, which is not so bad... (i teach for like an hour for 5 days..) I have to give 10% to church for offering (my dad's the pastor... so in a way, it goes back to him.. but then he gives church 10%.. hmm like policeman paying taxes) Most of it's my play money anyhow so yeah, it works out... ^_^ I didn't know what to really teach them though so i copied my bro who taught me SAT while tutoring another kid.</p>

10

<p>$20/hr is good! You could have it be conversations..like, make them talk to each other in English while you watch? That would be easy :p</p>

11

<p>20 dollars/hr!!!! :eek:</p>

<p>and the jobs here are all less than 10 dollars/hr :(</p>

12

<p>^ yeah benefits of speaking two languages (trying to add on a 3rd language)</p>

13

<p>Any private tutoring these days is at least $15/hr, especially if you're a college student.</p>

14

<p>Geez, I get paid $6.75/hr for teaching Calculus...and fractions.</p>

15

<p>I was junior/senior when i started getting those rates.. my mom did cut it down a little (10~15 instead) and she said she wouldn't interfere after i get into college... so most likely, i would get paid more possibly (although my bro got paid less than me and he goes to Cornell.. crazy)</p>

16

<p>Son & I will be attending the 5/20 orientation in Honolulu, HI. It should be interesting, seeing which folks have decided to go to USC. He thinks about 20-30 from his HS & another 20-30 from my niece's HS will also be there & going to USC in September.</p>
