I'm half Japanese and half American, currently a high school English (ESL/ELL) teacher in the states. I have an International Affairs BA and a Master's in Teaching (basically a Masters in Ed), with qualifications to teach English, ELL, and History. I have also worked as a college advisor between years teaching. That said…I'm also over slightly over 50 years of age. I know Japan can be very agist 😮💨 (I grew up here).. so wondered if anyone had insight into being hired as a teacher (or in any role) as someone of "advanced age." Thanks!
(Not sure if it matters….but forgot to add I'm a female. Hopefully, that doesn't change anyone's answer from "Sure, it's do-able," to "Forget it baa-san!" 😅)
