Moving to Korea Need Help

11 years ago
First off thanks for taking the time to read through this post I really appreciate it. My girlfriend and I are planning on moving to Korea in early August of this year and I could really use some help. She will be working as an ESL teacher and I would love to as well, but I am unable to secure an E2 due to the FBI Criminal Background Check. I received a misdemeanor three years ago, for which I was never even booked, simply detained and ticketed, so from what I've been told it wouldn't even be worth my time applying for the visa.

Basically my main question is what kind of work can I find outside of ESL? As an American with no knowledge of Korean I feel like my options may be severely limited. I do have my Bachelors in Business Administration, and am a musician as well (maybe giving guitar lessons?), I work at one of the top Market Research Firms in the US and am 27 years old. Anybody that could possibly give a couple of tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch for your time and help.
