If you actually want to teach in Japan become a professor but you'll need a phd. Otherwise it can suck big time. As a general English teacher you honestly don't make too much. It enough to live on but its still meh. If your goal is to come here, make some money then open your own school, don't bother. So many people try it now and id say about 95% fail if not more. There's too much competition. Requirement for teaching is a bachelors.
If you dont want a job as an English teacher theres very few jobs around unless you are fluent in Japanese. Even then because you are a foreigner you will get lower pay and more than likely passed over for other people. For the most part you basically have to be a huge bitch and you aren't allowed to think for yourself as its considered rude. Whatever management says goes or even a colleague who has been at the job longer than you(even if its only 1 month longer), no input, no changes. No overtime pay but daily overtime.
