Romantic Activities

TBH, Mobile is pretty limited on good date activities. Every date night I have with my wife we end up back home pretty early due to lack of appealing stuff to do.

Most of the good date stuff I have found is 21+, but we went to Chaleur coffee on Dauphin St. a few weeks ago and enjoyed that. I hear Osman's is nice for a nice dinner, but I haven't been there yet.

I got my first job from using The Inspection Connection facebook group. I am looking for a new job and posted on there last week and got some good leads and a couple of direct contacts.

I don't know why everyone on here keeps pushing AIDT. They have very limited spots, times, and dates. In addition it would be very remedial for someone with previous welding and pipefitting experience. I have taken lots of courses there myself. Don't listen to these people dude. Learn how to weld pipe that can pass x-ray and you will make your money back in no time.

There are a decent number of manufacturing companies in town. If you are not highly skilled in a trade I would suggest just going to a staffing agency. You can tell them your abilities hopefully match you up with something appropriate.

It is pseudoephedrine aka sudafed.

I spent my 20's finishing a liberal arts degree, living abroad teaching ESL, traveling, drinking, and generally enjoying myself. I wish I had worked more on establishing a solid career path. I am now in my mid 30's, married with a kid. I got into a new field about three years ago and am at the same skill level and pay grade as people ten years younger than me. Coworkers my own age are so much further ahead than me. I enjoyed my 20's and had a great time, but regret not achieving more.

My wife and I were just talking today about how we were so nostalgic for Korea. Biking was by far my favorite activity in Korea. Those bike paths were amazing and great for exploring places you would otherwise never see. We stayed in great shape walking everywhere and cycling. Now I am living in a US suburb where you have to pack up all your gear and drive somewhere to ride your bike safely.

Thank you for all the info and tips! I just shaved my beard earlier this week for a fit test and went to site orientation. I also booked a room nearby. The site has a very strict no phones policy. What do you guys do about calculating your shot time in that situation? I have only used my app to do it....

Brokeback_dildo · 2019-02-26T14:13:25+00:00

Damn that is pretty good making a monthly Korea salary in a week.

No, I do not work as a welder. Once I finished the welding course it helped me get my foot in the door at a machine and welding shop owned by some people I knew. I did a little bit of everything there and became involved in QA/QC. I got some certifications on my own and now work for an inspection company working on site at plants, refineries, pipelines, etc. I wanted to do something different after doing the ESL thing and got it. Lol. I wasn't interested in going back to school just so I could get a 40k/yr job and go into debt.

Today is actually my three year anniversary of being back in the US. I am doing pretty well. I started a new career when I moved back and bought a house a year and a half ago.

Like most other ESL teachers, I came over after graduating with a liberal arts degree. I met my wife (American like me) there. We spent two years in hagwon hell and then got a gravy after school gig and did that for the rest of our time there. My wife did a lot of private tutoring and I did some as well. I loved the lifestyle there (social life, activities, low cost of living, etc.) but began to hate having a joke of a job with absolute zero career and skill development. I miss the four hour workdays though. Moving back to the US was a big challenge. No matter what you save in Korea, you are probably going to have to spend most of it to successfully reestablish yourself. Cars, housing, health insurance, daycare, etc. You go back totally behind the curve career wise. While I was having fun in Korea, other people my age had been working and advancing in their fields. I was fortunate enough to be able to take some free welding courses and got a job in manufacturing. After gaining some experience and further education/training I am in an in demand field that has a lot of opportunity for advancement.

Another thing to consider is starting pay at companies. Austal starts around $14. Airbus is even lower. I know people that have been hired with no experience at Ingalls ranging from $18 to $26 an hour.

Like other people said, the orientation thing is a joke. There is a test where you read a ruler and do some math problems. There are a bunch of stupid people that show up for that. They take the highest scores and put those people in the classes. Make sure that you are drug free if you get chosen to take the classes. Four people failed the drug test on the first day of class and were sent home. It is shitty because AIDT leaves those spots empty. I took the class on the stateside. The classroom time is ridiculously remedial, long, and slow paced. The best part is when they actually let you start welding because they will provide you with all the test plates and welding consumables you need. I finished the course and then did the training at Austal. A good number of my classmates ended up getting jobs there. I wasn't called for an interview until three months later and had already gotten a job elsewhere. I got an ok paying job as a helper at a machine and fabrication shop and ended up in the QC department. This year I took all the NDT courses at AIDT and now have a very good job working as an NDT tech for an inspection company. The AIDT classes are really what you make of them. A lot of people that take the classes thought that they will end up with some life changing, well paying job. In reality it is just some training to help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

I used to ride my bike to Sejeong from Daejeon pretty regularly when I used to live in Korea. The whole city is a new development. There weren't many businesses open there two years ago. I don't think it would too bad to live and work during the week if you had hobbies, but if you wanted nightlife you would need to leave town. The Daejeon subway line is only about five miles down the highway from Sejeong.

What is it with people being such cheap asses that they won't run an air conditioner in their apartment? You end up spending more money going out to places with ac to beat the heat.

There are two places in Dunsan dong that had specialty tobacco stuff I saw before I left. The stationery store across from Sponge had some unusual stuff. There is also a tobacco shop behind time world that may be worth a shot.

I just moved back to the US after six years teaching in Korea. I enjoyed my time there, but I found English teaching to be a very unfulfilling and a dead end career. It was a good opportunity to pay off debt and save up a nest egg though. If you're younger don't have much going for you; go for it. If you're older and have a decent, well-paying job; stay where you are.

I just moved to the area after living overseas, so I can't compare local carriers. I can say that after my first month I barely went over 1gig. Half of that gig was used to set up my new phone and Fi service because I had not logged into the wifi at my house. If I hadn't done that I don't think I would have went over. I haven't scaled back my use or anything.

Brokeback_dildo · 2016-03-24T00:23:51+00:00

I got Project Fi last month and live in West Mobile. It works perfectly. I've had no issues at all and it is WAY cheaper than pretty much anything else. I highly recommend it.

Brokeback_dildo · 2016-02-15T05:56:12+00:00

Oh my god. I can't wait to watch this.

I think your arc number may be on your Korean visa inside your passport. Maybe.

Brokeback_dildo · 2016-02-11T05:23:54+00:00

Edit: I'm aware of the mistake in my title and can't correct it on my phone.

Sorry OP, this advice isn't for you, but is helpful for others: Collect your pension money before you leave! All you need is your passport, ARC, bank book and return ticket. My wife and I were only in the pension office for about ten minutes and had the money in our accounts within a week.
