hi all,

ive been discussing the possiblity of going to working in Japan with my brother,

and he says english teachers only get 30,000 a year in japan these days. is this true?

he also said id need to find a place to live because his apartment is too small.

So what do you all do? and if you dont' me asking what does it pay?

Thanks in advance

the average NOVA slave gets paid less than that in many cases.. chain schools in Japan are like working for Maccas. fast food english..

Im lucky enough to work or a university. Do private lessons on the side to boost the income..make enough money thats for sure..

you can do it for sure but deciding whether you will be short or long term will also dictate how serious your job offers get,...

Hey man,

i've been looking into doing the same thing, I've done a bit of a search and from what I could see the pay seemed quite decent, unless the places I've been looking in to are full of it. Some of the teaching places also supply accomodation, depending on who you work for. Teach International is the place I'm thinking of going through, from what I've read Nova has heaps of places and jobs but I think the pay and conditions are pretty poor.

in all honesty i cannot understand how people can go to a country they cannot understand and get paid less than 30grand a year!?!?

how much do these ppl end up saving up? LOL

:rolleyes:

i'd love to go over to japan for a while, but im stuck here in Australia coz of my massive loan (30grand, which was for my car) so yeah....

problem is we got a japanese girl at my work on a working holiday visa which ive become quite fond of, and i dont want her to leave :D

gotta make the most of the last few months :'(

You could always follow her back to her 'ununderstandable' country and get paid less than $30K a year... :D

In all honesty I can't understand why you would get a car loan for 30g.

I am one of those ununderstandable people living in a country I can't (actually can, thanks anyway) understand getting paid less than 30g a year and manage to own three cars with no loan.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Shit we must end up saving a bit, even with huge car habits hitting the track every two weeks drifting touge like there is no tomorrow.

Just because you have a loan, doesnt mean you cant come over here..you just have to put money into the account their taking it from regularly...

sell the car. that would help and besides you would get one so much cheaper here.

i did that for a year and a half...between 500 and 800 dollars a month..

not easy but its done now.

hrmmm...

i wouldnt be able to earn 50k thats for sure....

i have no "skills" so yeah.

and my loan is actually 2... one was 22k then the other 5k.

it was for buying a car then rebuilding it etc etc...the fkn motor is costing me a lot, and so are my mistakes.

i beleive you just need a bachelors degree of any sort to qualify.

mighty fine ass you got there zman...

perfect 10.

i think the previous post was regarding doing that in oz, and if it is its a completely different ballgame.

if it isnt, you dont even need a degree to teach here.

some monkeys get a job here straight out of highschool..

Yeah looking at doing a course in aus to teach in japan. I dnt really know what other jobs you can get (long term) in japan other than professionalised jobs. As far as i know working visa's are granted in 1 year lengths. Ive heard all sorts of things about visa, some of which state you cannot earn more than a certain amount of income?? Is there any other ways of staying long-ish term without marrying someone over there? not that japanese chicks arent hot, i just dont know anyone over there :thumbsup:

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
