If you really want to get a good teaching job, get a degree in education or English. If you want a decent-paying job, work toward a masters degree, this will qualify you for university teaching positions which pay double or more what the usual teaching positions in Japan pay.
Okay, thanks so much for the tip.
: )
I've never heard of a CELTA, so I'll have to look it up some more.
Again, thank you.
