Re: Non-native teaching in Japan

Hi dude,

Seems to me that you're not listening to, or reading, Raoul!

He said that it'd be really hard for you to get a teaching job anywhere there because of your non-native appearance and speaking abilities. Schools in Asia are kinda funny like that. It seems, to them, that only white folks can speak English as natives, but they fail to see that there are many races of different colour that are also from the major native English speaking countries.

It's the same in China, Taiwan and elsewhere, so I've heard. I'm Caucasian and in China and have seen, first hand, how difficult it is for "coloured" friends to get good jobs doing anything here. Conversely, there are some people here who have found jobs. They are, however, lower paying than those of us whos' appearance is "non coloured". It's a sad truth, but it's business here in Asia. I suggest you read what cool ice has written and look more in those areas where he suggested you may find some success. Those jobs would also be, I'd imagine, low paying too. I also agree with cool ice that we all have our own problems regarding finances and we all have our own problems with other things too.

Might be an idea to find an Bangladeshi expat website and see what you can find there.

Good luck.
Just my 2 cents worth!
