|  Teaching English in Japan Really bad news me and just plain old bad news for anyone who was hoping to teach abroad in Japan after college (which is...or maybe was a good gig). The largest English teaching company is folding and when it goes bankrupt it might mean very bad things for the business as a whole. Pay rates might go down while work loads goes up. For me it has meant that I had to leave a job that I was very happy with because the company has failed to pay me. So I'm back at home and I'm going to have to make due back at home and try to make some money with commission painting or something because I have 100 dollars left to my name. I really don't expect the $4,000 that I'm owed from the company for the last two months work.

Blog Entries: 1 | man that sucks! sorry to hear it. still, there's bound to be plenty of opportunities for a bi-lingual feller like yourself. i dunno about the states but many english colleges run a course called "english for speakers of foriegn languages" so it might be worth asking the local teaching establishments about vacencies.
