People assume teaching's easy, but having taught and done a teaching course it's acutally very hard!
Some schools may let you turn up, talk to the class for an hour at a time, and do little else, but even if they did it wouldn't make you a good teacher and your students would suffer for it. So yes, it can be an easy laid-back job, but it really shouldn't be.

Can teaching English in Korea be just as laid-back and easy as in Japan?
How much do you usually earn? How much hours would you be working if your did the bare minimum and if you did a good job?
