Japanese salaryman working in areas unrelated to their degrees is the norm in Japan. Likewise, gaijin engrish teachers are not necessarily expected to have full certification---Many engrish teachers just claim they are "certified" after a one week course (or fake certification).bealuct wrote:... I've heard from some people that it really doesn't matter what type of Bachelor's degree you have, but just as long as you have one. Is this true and if so, why is that? It wouldn't make sense for a school to hire someone with an Engineering degree if they're going to be teaching English grammar or conversation. Anyway, I'm a little confused as to why that is.
"Why" you ask?
T.I.J.
Engrish education here is a cruel joke for the most part. Additionally, many (most?) of the best English teachers in Japan have no qualifications beyond being a native speaker and being able to be very entertaining/cute/attractive.
