250,000 is base. I wouldn't take anything lower. That just hurts everyone.

And if it's enough depends. Where are you? Is transportation paid for? How much is rent? Do you party or eat out a lot? Do you have student loans?

I can pay all my bills on 100,000 but I live in rural Kyoto, rarely party, and have zero debt. So I use the rest to travel. I've been to Korea and Taiwan. Headed to Guam in July.

So yes, it's enough, but not like once month or anything.

I understand how being an English Teacher may be the easiest way (and one of the best paying for a foreigner) to go to Japan, but as much as English was my favorite topic in school, I really just don't think it's right for me (but then, the main reason for this is due to my shyness. I don't really like getting up in front of a group of people at times, but maybe if I get over that then it would make a big difference).

I pretty much doubt I'll get a job at anything else, even as a computer programmer, web or graphic designer, or anything else with computers.

All I can do is take one day at a time and see what happens.
