@aceent5145 First of all, thanks for checking out my channel. I’m glad you like the craft beer content. I’ll have to make more. 🍻
As for my job, I work as an ALT, directly hired by my city’s Board of Education. My main duties are teaching in elementary and junior high schools, but I also make videos and other online content for schools in my cities. The pay is not great, but it’s stable. I work from 8:30 to 4:15 on weekdays, and get 23 paid vacation days a year. (Check my ‘Japanese Schools during the Pandemic’ video to get a feel for what it’s like inside a public school here.)
And your other question. So you want to live in Japan long-term and make a good salary teaching English? It’s not easy to do, but certainly possible. There are three ways that I know of: 1.Get a University job; 2.Start your own English conversation school; or 3. Upgrade your language skills, get a teaching license from a Japanese university and become a REAL teacher, probably at a high school. As for the third option, refer to the earlier advice from Gordon Graham. I know people who have succeeded at all three of these options. But I know many more who have given up and left the country, frustrated, or just decided to keep working at a low-responsibility job with a low salary. (Kind of like me. The salary part, anyway. 😅)
