The end of EPIK?

So it's official, I have no job next year :(

There are MASSIVE cuts and only 5 vocational high schools will have foreign teachers.  I'm already starting to mourn the loss my job and I'm only 3 months in.

I have no idea what is happening to the EPIK program.  There are rumors all over the place but it sounds like it is essentially disappearing.  I might still try to stay on, but I'll probably be moved to an elementary school, or worse a middle school. I'll have to move for my second time here, and, well there's a lot of other things up in the air too.

I know some people that are starting to look for university jobs but with this happening that market is going to get flooded and I don't expect to have much of a chance there, especially because I don't have my masters and won't have time to get it before next summer...and there are pros and cons with those jobs too, some people love them but a lot of times you take a pay cut and...well it just is a whole different can of worms.

So I'll sit in limbo for the next 9 months and we'll see what happens.
