Is there any advantage to taking this test? Is this the test that the U.S. State Department looks at when they consider hiring potential employees. I've looked into jobs with the F.B.I, and to become a language specialist, you need a certain level of proficiency in the language. I wonder if this is the test that they look at or, if there is some kind of test within the organization. If not, then I wonder if the test can open any other doors.
I can see an advantage to taking the test in that it would give somebody a reason to study Korean. I find it very hard to get motivated to study Korean. Korean language schools are few and far between. It seems the only place in Jinju to do so is at a center for foreign wives of Korean farmers. Since I have my own Korean wife I thought it would be fun to take some classes there, but all of the classes are held at one in the afternoon, while I'm at work. The universities aren't much help either.
