Angela,

Come to Japan with a minimum of a Bachelors degree. Get the Japan Times monday edition and send your resume to any companies that interest you. Call them and arrange an interview. Go to the interview looking professional.
You will create your own destiny. I have been here on and off for 15 years and just landed a job makingover $60,000 a year, 2 months paid vacation and I work on my tennis game at work.
Anyone with a pulse can teach here and you might try another country if you are looking for teaching satisfaction but the money is here, then again its terribly expensive and quality of life leaves much to be desired.
