At the time, I thought I was so smart rationalizing that GEOS was superior to JET in that I got to run my classes as opposed to being an English-speaking parrot in some high school. A few months later, it became clear to me that being an eikaiwa teacher was nothing but a McJob. I worked a year and half of my two year contract at my school and got the hell out. I did that for 9 months before I got lucky. I was in the right place at the right time and holding the right ticket.
Life is good.
Chris I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Arts. I left the campus a little more pessimistic than my friends, after all, I had my inevitable failure and doom pounded into my head by my fellow floor mates in first year. I was looking for a job like a lot of guys I knew but nothing came up. It's 65 bucks a night, cash, no questions asked. All you gotta do is sweep up and help out wherever they need another body.
