Teach english is a good career in Japan?

Hello, I wanted some info about teaching english as a teacher in Japan. I work in the nursing field and i'm not to happy about it. I thought teaching as a career would be my next step and being that I want to live in Japan for a new life experience and the culture I thought this would be a good place to start to get employed in Japan. I don't have a degree yet because i had some complications with schools but I do plan to start soon. Oh and I'm 21 years old....any information and suggestions would be very helpful.

I am a native english speaker in the U.S.A.

Thanks for reading. Leave me a message!!!

"TLadyLee",

if you had checked all the entries concerning teaching in Japan on this site, you would have probably found the answer yourself already!

To make it short: it is a possibility, but chances are very low. With no university degree, the present situation in Japan (sluggish economy), too many who want to teach - not enough who want to study, probably no connections ...... well, there will be more posts, I assume!

I did do some reasearch, I guess I should do some more. As far as being a foreigner, would this be the only option working in Japan after I obtain a degree in teaching or are there other jobs as well??? I don't plan on coming to Japan unless i'm visiting or graduated from college.

Thanks for your answer!!!
