My question to anyone who is experienced in the ALT field: is the ALT position worth it anymore? I want to believe it is because I love Japan (and I've got a few more years before I actually get my BA still). I'll gladly take the risk, but I want to know if the ALT jobs are better now or does it look like they'll get better in the future?

What sort of news did you hear. As long as there are fewer students and schools are shutting down, there will be less opportunities. However, I enjoyed my three years as an ALT. The job is what you make of it.
