Hi! I'm currently an undergrad in English Lit and next year I'll probably get into a research-based Master's (focused on English studies as a whole, with Translation included). ATM I'm studying abroad in the UK but I'll be going back to my country next year (France). I know teaching English is the most basic solution to moving to Japan, but here's the thing: my native language is French, and although my English is quite good, I have heard that Japanese employers tend to prioritise / look for native speakers. Am I cooked?
For the record, I don't want to teach French, at all. I despise it with every fibre of my being and I'm terrible at it, the only thing I've got going for me is that it's my native language so it ought to feel more 'natural'. I guess I could teach French, but I'd probably be miserable, and I don't know if there's any demand for it in Japan.
