That's not to say that working for Mr. Cho is going to be any better. The job looks pretty terrible, and they charge you for food and lodging, but still 3.0 million for picking watermelons. You can work at a camp for 4 million working 13 hours a day. Guess those liberal arts degrees are really worth something.
