P.S. You will need better than "conversational" English to teach it.
Your understanding of English grammar will need to be good enough that you can teach it confidently and your pronunciation will need to be good.
(There are some people teaching English who have no idea.. but it is harder for them to get and keep jobs )

Re:Working in Japan 14 Years, 6 Months ago Karma: 0  
i'm a student and i'm studying music production. ive heard its quite a popular job market and a lot of musicians say japanese tours are very profitable.

ive been considering doing my placement year over in japan. one of the options is working for a studio in japan, but the only problem is it doesnt pay very well

i dont of anyone who has actually took up the option from my university, but apparantly its really competitive. i'd love to do it, but funding myself and other commitments are making it seem less likely. i just thought i'd post about it because it seems no-one really hears much about the "bigger" job market, and one person in here was asking about degree opportunities

Sounds very cool!

But I guess the self-funding problem and the other difficulties you mention are why we don't hear that sort of thing discussed here often

i'd love to do it, but i'd have to get a job and work non-stop as well as continue my degree for the rest of the year just to have some money for it. so its like sacrificing my entire social life lol

To teach English your written English would have to be pretty good.. and your spoken English and pronunciation would need to be very good...

To get a job in a lab. I imagine your Japanese would need to be pretty good (reading and writing too...)

As for unskilled jobs.. you cant get a working visa to do unskilled jobs..
The Japanese government will only give working visas for skilled jobs (preferably work that Japanese people are not skilled in..)

Sorry.... not easy, is it!!!
