Where did Nyororin say that being an English Teacher is a bad idea. Realistically it is one of the only ideas. Easy? I don't know about that. A job is a job, and there are expectations.

However, there is nothing about being an English teacher that would prevent you from immersing yourself into your local Japanese culture. If anything it would give you more access than someone who was working for a Western corporation.
