Just FYI, I teach English too. It’s a great way to get some travel in and you learn so much from engulfing yourself in the culture. Japan can be more difficult to get in with but if you’re not picky where you are stationed then you should be fine. I think it’s such an adventurous career opportunity for anybody. Plus, Japan has a tendency to pay for lodging, which leaves you more money to travel on your days off. Good luck with the decision and I truly hope you end up taking a risk. Our biggest rewards sometimes come from our most insane risks. Go figure :)
