Guys, I am 19 and i think i should get a job as an english teacher in
japan!



ok, i accomplish my goals in life(i haven't accomplished much) by
doing the following things.


Prepare! prepare! prepare! and have a little balls to.



Anyhow, i have the following questions about teh job:


Is it really that easy to get it?  They make it seem like white trash
could get the job.  I mean the employees, not the company.


What should I do to PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE for it!



I have no advantages other then being something resembling a blonde
haired blue eyed american, I'm a native speaker of english(i used to
have good grammar too, until I started posting on usenet)I studied
japanese for 2 years (not very hard) and would like to learn the
language.  And I actually intend for my students to improve(I might
not be good at that).



Anyhow, I want to do this for the following reasons:


to learn the language and culture
so I can get a job, and then call people who don't have jobs lazy. 
I'm sick of being on the receiving end.



wHAT i WANT:


what i should do to prepare
what to be warned about
what is expected




etcetera.


Last, but not least, I'd prefer a job in a major city in the
Kinki(kinai?) region or tokyo.





Also, remember, I made this decision on a whim but I am not GOING on a
whim.  I want as much info as possible.
