I have my own gig and make about 150-200,000 yen per week currently. I goes up and down during the Japanese "Changing Season" I'll agree though that most peeps are pretty well fu__ed though. |

Couple of quick questions! My best friend decided that she wants to go to Japan for a year to teach as well, so now we're kind of hoping to go together. Only thing is she doesn't seem enthusiastic at all about the countryside, and I haven't heard of JET giving much leeway to friends who want to live with/near each other, so that option might not be the best for me. So now I'm looking into private ALT options - would Interac for example place people who request it together? Anyone gone the teaching route with a friend?

I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking your blindingly selfish thought process. Japan, sadly, lets people like you get to fulfill your backpacker dreams. Recently the local AJET's are of far higher quality than before. Market saturation and NOVA's collapse have helped to improve the quality and quantity of the "Teacher Pool". |

I don't see anything wrong with what she asked. What's wrong with wanting to teach with a friend or with someone you know nearby? At least with that you'll have your own personal support system. The same can be said for couples who want to teach in Japan, but would like to be near one another if both get a job there. I don't see what's wrong with wanting to apply to something with a friend, where there's more of a chance of them ending up in the same area. Seems that the Eikaiwa choices would work better with this as opposed to something as unpredictable as JET. |

I thought this might be useful. This link directs you to a Listomania! list of books that might be helpful for prominent or current english teachers. I ordered some of these books and read through some of them and I think that they are pretty helpful. Hope this helps!
