Teaching ESL in Japan. Salary? Living "comfortably"?We Answered:
You should be able to live comfortably. In most cases the company you work for pays for your apartment, and sometimes it is pre-furnished. I had a teacher who did JET Program, and since I am interested I basically interviewed her. She says the pay is actually quite decent for the lifestyle of Japan, the only ones who found themselves lacking money were the teachers who lived in the city because they constantly wanted to go out at night.I don't know if you miscalculated, or if I misread and you want to save $300/mo.?, but I'll go ahead and let you know 250,000en is equivalent to roughly 2,200USD.

What is the ral story on ESL job placement in Japan?We Answered:
I did something similar, except I went to Korea. It was a mixed bag. The social atmosphere was more or less like extended spring break in Tijuana. Basically, party every weekend, lots of casual relationships, blah blah blah. Not my scene.However, the work was overall fulfilling. The bosses expect a lot and aren't willing to give you much, which was really annoying. (Basically, you're required to come in to substitute as a drop of a hat, you don't find out your schedule until about three days before each term, you sometimes have to go to training on the weekends, etc... but if you ask for time off, they often won't give it to you, even if you arrange for substitutes, etc.) The money is good in Korea, too. Less so in Japan, because you have to pay for your apartment.
Your best bet is to find an online forum for people who are currently teaching ESL abroad and see what kinds of problems they're asking each other about. Try www.daveseslcafe.com.
