To teach english in Korea, you need to have a university degree.
Every single person I talked to about 9/11 conspiracies thought they were laughable. Anti-americanism was everywhere there, and many attributed the popularity of 9/11 conspiracy theories to how ignorant and uneducated most americans are. I'm not saying I necessarily agree, but it's definitely the vibe I got.

Ive found that when I have made political small talk with immigrants, whatever corner of the globe they may have come from, Ive usually gotten a fair assessment of the issues..For example, when Clinton was on the chopping block for a blowjob, I was speaking with a Portugese immigrant who was a net builder at the fishing gear chandelry, and he talked about how immaturely the U.S. was sensationalizing Clinton's affair..He made reference to the many world leaders who have has mistresses, Mitterand being one of them, and that people who live abroad simply dont make front page news out of these kinds of things..Ive found that foreign opinion is sometimes a fair measuring stick
I also do not agree that Americans are uneducated, but I do think that there are many issues that could be handled and viewed more realistically as well as more maturely
