I've been teaching for 16 years, but currently not tentured. Do I accept a position for 60% less of the pay and live abroad in Tokyo for the next 2 years? I'd be paid 42K/year in yen which includes support with housing and transportation. I'm currently in Northern California, near the redwoods and the coast. I love the nature near where I live but the price of living has gone up and I've dreamed of teaching abroad…this would be my first international school job..and I welcome the adventure, but didn't expect to get rehired this year. Do I accept the offer this week from the Tokyo International School or stay put and wait for a higher payer job in the future or DODEA?
