For a long time now, I've considered working in Japan or China for a while. Maybe just a few years, to experience your interesting and beautiful culture, and also get some new imput in my life. After this summer (if I get accepted) I am going to start my four year study to become a teacher, at the Oslo university college (Norway). I will get a bachelor degree + one year to qualify as a teacher in compulsory primary and lower secondary school. Over these four years I am going to specialise in teaching english and I can do some of the education abroad, in Japan or China. If time is on my hand, I also plan to study japanese or chinese language at the same time. What would my chances be of getting a job in Japan? And with my education, can I call the job I might get, a career?

I am a native norwegian with norwegian as my first language, and english second. Is this going to ruin my chances to get a job as an english teacher in Japan? Thanks for all replyes! Good or bad! It is always nice to hear other peoples opinions!
