Before watching the video here's my prediction.
English teaching is a foot in the door, a lot of english teaching jobs acts as Visa mills for young people who want to spend time in Japan. Regular English teaching isn't lucrative long term, but Business English to adults or tutoring individual students is worth it.
100% accurate Paul.
Just one thing to add- whatever route you take, please keep your personal finances in order! There are long term foreigners here in Japan working in every single job category mentioned who have been priced out of moving back home, regardless of which country they came from.
I'm trying to pursue my masters this year
I've been teaching English as an expat in Korea for the last 3 going on 4 years
I hope the masters opens doors in international schools in Japan
Interesting timing with your video, Paul – I’m actually in the middle of my CELTA course, so this was really interesting to me. 🤙🏼
Wow! I am coming in with CLI.I am also completing my Masters in Education for University and College level student teaching.Unlike China,there seems to be a more open market in Japan.China has a lot of gatekeeping and your credentials are not as valuable that you look like a joke when you head home and say you taught in China unless if you taught in an International or bilingual school or adult esl centre.
