Hello. I’m a nineteen year old from Toronto,Ontario, and I’m currently in college for social work(I might switch programs) I don’t like living in Canada, and I don’t see myself with a long-term future here. I’ve visited Japan in the past for long periods of time and I really enjoyed the experience.. So I’ve read that Teaching English in a Alt/Eikawa is basically a dead-end and impossible to live a comfortable life or start a family with.
What should I do? When I’m done my TEFL, should I try getting a teachers license or something? what exactly can someone who wants to teach english in Japan, and live a decent life do? Are Private high schools worth? is trying to get a Masters in education for university better? I’m genuinely curious. Should I try Teaching Alt/Eikawa for a little bit to get experience?
Also, I’m curious about what cities/towns/prefectures are best for cost of living/affordability and for pay. I’ve heard Rural areas and smaller cities are cheaper, but teaching in larger cities pays more.
Thanks.
