Do people use English teaching as a stepping stone still?

Hello,

A few years ago when I was young I was looking around out of curiousity what people do in countries like Japan, Korea, China, etc seeing as it is the other side of the world. A lot of people are doing English teaching which seems to be the "easiest" way to get into the country with employment. Back then (5 years back) a lot of people were talking about how they use it as an entry into the country and move up from there because it's easier to look for something while being in the country.

I'm browsing on sites like Reddit these days and I keep seeing threads about English teaching being the most miserable thing ever to do in Japan (idk about other countries), yet there are still people moving to Japan often to teach. I assume all the people are not suddenly finding their calling in educating the Japanese youth so I was wondering do people use this method to get inside the country and look for more then? Has anyone done this and how was the expeirence? Is English teaching really that bad?
