So, maybe you can go to teachers college majoring in English if such option exist? Most of the english teachers in Japan does not have neither, in most cases, not even ONE of these, so a Teacher's college degree in English will definitely make you that much more competitive.....
You should message RealJames, he is a very active member on this forum and a current English teacher, I think he has his own tutorial operation as well, but oyu have to check with him, he can tell you more about salary.... the rest is really just exploring and understanding the standard of living there, whcih you can get tones of info on the "Living in Japan" forum. Any question, just ask.

Thank you guys, i have learned a lot here and im glade you guys/girls are realistic and honest with your answer's. i still have a lot of time to figure everything out, so im going to take it slowly and figure things out.
taking a teaching course is necessary for me , because there a lot i need to brush up on and to see if i would enjoy teaching or not. i don't want to go to Japan and start hating the hole teaching thing, strange i know, its just i want to be sure that i could do it.
