I didn't contradict myself. I mean that you could get a degree as a PE coach, a doctor, an engineer, basket weaving or literally anything else. Being a part of the Jet Programme or becoming a conversational English teacher at an Eikaiwa with almost any type of four year bachelor's degree is possible.

You see, most of these institutions aren't actually "teaching" (although the Jet Programme has at least some standards), and most of the people working in Japan aren't "teachers." They're people like yourself who are just looking for a ticket over to Japan no matter what the work is. So they'll hire you to stand up and teach conversational English to little kids and housewives for 9 hours a day.

There's really nothing more to it than that. In the event that you do wish to get any kind of actual teaching certifications, they may give you a type of pay raise or you may start off with other small benefits, but you'll be working right along side the next guy who has no actual teaching qualifications.
