All In Japan Working Or Have Contacts In Japan!

[devil jin]

hi all,

ive been discussing the possiblity of going to working in Japan with my brother,

and he says english teachers only get 30,000 a year in japan these days. is this true?

he also said id need to find a place to live because his apartment is too small.

So what do you all do? and if you dont' me asking what does it pay?

Thanks in advance

the average NOVA slave gets paid less than that in many cases.. chain schools in Japan are like working for Maccas. fast food english..

Im lucky enough to work or a university. Do private lessons on the side to boost the income..make enough money thats for sure..

you can do it for sure but deciding whether you will be short or long term will also dictate how serious your job offers get,...

Hey man,

i've been looking into doing the same thing, I've done a bit of a search and from what I could see the pay seemed quite decent, unless the places I've been looking in to are full of it. Some of the teaching places also supply accomodation, depending on who you work for. Teach International is the place I'm thinking of going through, from what I've read Nova has heaps of places and jobs but I think the pay and conditions are pretty poor.

in all honesty i cannot understand how people can go to a country they cannot understand and get paid less than 30grand a year!?!?

how much do these ppl end up saving up? LOL

i'd love to go over to japan for a while, but im stuck here in Australia coz of my massive loan (30grand, which was for my car) so yeah....

problem is we got a japanese girl at my work on a working holiday visa which ive become quite fond of, and i dont want her to leave

gotta make the most of the last few months :'(

You could always follow her back to her 'ununderstandable' country and get paid less than $30K a year...

In all honesty I can't understand why you would get a car loan for 30g.

I am one of those ununderstandable people living in a country I can't (actually can, thanks anyway) understand getting paid less than 30g a year and manage to own three cars with no loan.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Shit we must end up saving a bit, even with huge car habits hitting the track every two weeks drifting touge like there is no tomorrow.

[m3gtr]

Just because you have a loan, doesnt mean you cant come over here..you just have to put money into the account their taking it from regularly...

sell the car. that would help and besides you would get one so much cheaper here.

i did that for a year and a half...between 500 and 800 dollars a month..

not easy but its done now.

[gnki'vlct]

hrmmm...

i wouldnt be able to earn 50k thats for sure....

i have no "skills" so yeah.

and my loan is actually 2... one was 22k then the other 5k.

it was for buying a car then rebuilding it etc etc...the fkn motor is costing me a lot, and so are my mistakes.

mighty fine ass you got there zman...

perfect 10.

i think the previous post was regarding doing that in oz, and if it is its a completely different ballgame.

if it isnt, you dont even need a degree to teach here.

some monkeys get a job here straight out of highschool..

[Tales]

Yeah looking at doing a course in aus to teach in japan. I dnt really know what other jobs you can get (long term) in japan other than professionalised jobs. As far as i know working visa's are granted in 1 year lengths. Ive heard all sorts of things about visa, some of which state you cannot earn more than a certain amount of income?? Is there any other ways of staying long-ish term without marrying someone over there? not that japanese chicks arent hot, i just dont know anyone over there

[gnki'vlct]

^^ lol without marring sum1?

be hard to marry sum1 especially if they dont speak english ;P

i dno... living in a country that dusnt have english seems like a challenge

[Tales]

dodgey sign language maybe? hahaha! If im lucky i will find someone over there who speaks english.....then marry them?? but am gonna start doing some night classes at uni so i dnt look like a total noob lol but know what ya mean its bout as challenging as having sex in a prickle bush :S . Whats the ave cost for an apartment over there, looking at osaka area?
