My Korean grad school friend never went into that much detail, but he was always glad to be back in America after a visit home and he had no intention of taking a job in Korea.
I hope you all can get yourselves sorted out. What's one change that you think could relieve a lot of the pressure?
Give people time off work. Now many jobs require overtime at any moment of the day or weekend, precluding people from having uninterrupted personal or family time. How to achieve it? It's hard. Pres Moon Jae In tried to limit number of working hours to 52h/week, but companies found ways around it. It's sad, but probably the only way to change it is to wait for the old generation to die. Like most societal changes: you don't change people, coz people don't change... you just wait for the new generation to do it differently. But if the new generation is broken too, even that's not necessarily a winning strategy.

How consumeristic would you say Koreans are?
Is there a lot of room for people to scale back on their spending, in order to spend less time at work?
