They have no clue whatsoever on how to deal with different cultures..
Also WHV graduates do want to be there and teach. How could you say otherwise?
The Working Holiday is a blessing and one of the greatest things these few countrys have realized. I hope it can be a World thing one day.. other countries shouldn't disallow their people to do such a fantastic culture change.
It's a unique thing which brings this World closer together!

Well someone with a degree is superior in a way, as they're the ones allowed to live in Japan indefinitely and are generally more intelligent for a lot of areas. If someone's without, and isn't eligible for a WHV, then they have to stay put. But yes, I understand what you mean about it in the English language sense.
And I say otherwise because usually people don't want to go there because they actually want to
teach, they only want to go so they can be in Japan and geek out on pop culture, fulfill fantasies etc. :L
I do generally think the Working Holiday visa is a good idea too. I just think it should be more focused on poorer countries that have a lack of English language teachers rather than rich countries like Japan which is already full to the brim with English language teachers.
