Hey

I found this thread very interesting. I study Japanese and TESOL at uni in England. My dream was always to come over here (Japan) and teach. Then I came here on my exchange year, with my shiny new TESOL certificate, and realised that any native English speaking chump can get a job teaching, and in fact, I'm at a disadvantage because I'm yet to graduate.

This has somewhat shattered my dream of being a teacher, so I've changed my plan; I want to do JET as planned after uni, but do the CIR job instead of the teaching job.

After that, I have no idea what I want to do. After I reach a certain age in my life, being a gaijin as well as being a woman, I will find it hard to get promotions and stuff so I intend to return back to England and get a job in London or something.
