Teaching English w/o a degree!
 
Hey!
I was an exchange student in Japan a couple of years ago, and I'd love to teach english there for a few months next summer. The only problems are that:
a.) I'm still a student without a degree.
b.) Most programs/companies have a 1 yr. contract.
Is there any way I can do this? I really don't care about salary, etc...
Yoroshiku!!

well i do know of one, but its UK based and is a 12 month placement. why is a year a problem? is it too long?

Umm...if you're still a student, why don't you just study abroad one more year(or however many it takes) until you get a degree?

Companies don't want to hire people for a couple months.

MMM is right. You won't be able to get a job with an English-speaking company. However, if you could go there on a student visa, or even just on a passport for a month, you could teach people informally in a one-on-one tutoring session type deal. It would be harder to find customers, but you'd make much more money.

I knew a girl who made 10,000 yen (about $100) per hour to just do English conversation with businessmen, while they took her out to fancy restaurants to eat.
