There are many jobs in South Korea. Jobs are everywhere. In fact, many places have to shut down because they can not find enough people to work in their business. People want the "dream jobs". A job with a very very high salary with many many perks added to it. Also, this job is very easy to do, and you will be envied by others when you do it.
The fact is that this does not exist. Every job is hard! No job in this system of things can bring the kind of satisfaction that Jehovah's coming kingdom ruled over by Jesus Christ will bring.
One student said that wanted to be a building owner. OK. So I explained that as a building owner, you need to collect rent and maintain the building (which can be an everyday thing) while having to search for new renters when one business fails. Businesses fail a lot in South Korea.
The issue of collecting rent can be a very hard thing to do when a business is failing and can not properly pay. Long legal battles can take place. All the while you are losing money, not rent coming in, and spending money on upkeep, and legal fees.
Buildings also have to pass a number of building codes for safety. You make one mistake boom you get a fine! Buildings have electrical systems, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems. All of these need to be maintained in a cost-effective way.
My job is very hard, yet now it has gotten easier, my many prayers have been answered! Yet I still must keep busy. My previous job was easy in some ways but very difficult in others. Dealing with rude people who destroy entire classes and are willing to just blame others, is very difficult to work for. Then there is the fact that I was bored out of my mind! Here while I am working very hard, and getting shouted at for making mistakes is so much better. The shouting has a ring of worry and concern, no blaming. I would even say that there is a hint of love in it. A love for education is what I can assume. They will do well in the new world after learning about Jehovah's will.
To my sons, I try to tell them that all jobs are hard and it is important to do them to the best of your ability. We stand before Jehovah. Not like others to run from the word or reject it. Likely many of them will accept it once they see the Prince of Peace coming.
Ok, two more classes to go!
