Non-teaching jobs are not especially easy to come by in Korea, and generally require an exceptionally high level of education, fluency in Korean, a business partner, or personal wealth. Part-time work is also technically illegal, but this does not stop people from doing the odd job here and there in freelance translating, acting, and so on.

To work for a foreign company in Korea is somewhat difficult, as they are more likely to send somebody from within the company to Korea rather than pick up a foreigner living in Korea. Working for a Korean company is somewhat easier, but usually much lower paying. People in fields such as IT, certain types of electrical engineering, and technical writing can find jobs.
