Stuttgart_or_Bust Thank you everybody for your responses! I appreciate you all helping me out, even if it's in tempering my expectations.

One follow-up question: when I was on active duty in Korea, I was able to make a decent side-gig out of "tutoring" Korean college students in English (basically just meeting them at a coffee shop and letting them practice...See More
