Hi,
I am wondering a few things, I know that this question has been asked a thousand times but I still need some valid input to it.
I have a i-to-i TEFL which was the type that you could fail on, not like many others where it is guaranteed you will pass. I am thinking of studying for an actual English Literature Degree this October, but it will take 3 years to complete.
All I'd like to know is, who of you has actually gone to Japan on only a advanced TEFL and been successful in finding a English teaching job? I know it must be very hard to find a job with only this qualification but I do really much want to try it this way. I guess I have time to take the degree, but I believe it may not go as well as I think.... So, just in-case, how hard has it been for you? Have you gone only on a tourist VISA? (I am from England and know I need no work VISA nor holiday VISA to enter, but I do need a work VISA if I find a job there, is it straight forward if I were to find a job there?
