Thanks for the replies! More questions coming up!

1. That's good to hear.

2. It seems you do not agree on that one.
Do you know how easy/difficult it is for a foreigner to get a job like that in general? What if they were in need of a preschool teacher, and I come along. Do you think there's a possibility that they wouldn't hire me just because I'm not a native? I'm not talking about racism, but more like them worrying about cultural differences (which I would totally understand).
Are there any other jobs apart from teaching English that foreigners usually go for?

3. Well, I think my English is pretty much fluent.
I do make some minor grammatical errors and silly spelling mistakes every now and then, but I've noticed that my English is actually better than the English of quite a few native English speakers (I don't know if you'll agree on that one lol).
From my understanding you pretty much need to come from a "native English" country to teach English in Japan, but could being fluent in English make a difference if I were to apply for other jobs?
