I am going to say no. If you are a licensed teacher from the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand or Australia, don't even bother with ESL unless you can't find a job at an international school. There are tons of private schools especially in Tokyo where the students are primarily foreign nationals. The pay and benefits such as paid vacation are ten times better. Okay, not literally ten times but they are good. Remember however you must be licensed. Just graduating as an education major will not do.
