Teach English in Japan vs S. Korea vs Taiwan? Which one is better? Any experiences? ?

Question:


I am a recent college grad, and was looking into teaching in Asia.

Which country is better to work? I was leaning towards Japan, but there are high living costs. I know a lot of Japanese (a Japanese major in college), but I am also considering Korea b/c of the low living costs, free apt and no rent, etc.

I really want to save up money, which is what is one of my goals as well.

Thanks!

Answer:


In most cases in order to work full time in Japan you need to have a University degree and you also require the backing of a company in Japan to sponsor your visa.

Most recruiters for English jobs in Japan will require the following:

1. Native English Speaker
2. Full Bachelor Degree (in any field)
3. Basic Japanese Ability

The market is really competitive now so they also prefer teaching experience and qualifications such as ESL, TEFL or CELTA.
