Well, I've heard some conflicting information about getting a job in NK, on one hand, its hard as a teacher.. Apparently they've only got like 3 people teaching English in Pyongyang, your best bet would be as a diplomat which means youve gotta go through uni, do well, get into your foreign department of whatever country you are and be lucky enough to get posted there. On the other hand i have a friend studying Engineering who says that NK are desperate for Engineers to work for them and he has a friend in NK right now making a fuckload of cash working for an American oil company. I'm not so sure about this though, but he doesnt really have any reason to lie to me about it. Either way, if you get a job there you'll be barred from talking to ordinary north korean folk, but you'll be treated real nicely.
Just go on the tour and leave it at that, from the sounds of it living in Pyongyang would be boring. Also look up the dudes who defected during the Korean war, Charles Jenkins and there's that other one who's still there, you can see interviews with him on youtube.
