When I graduate from college I want to teach school in Japan. Is it possible to do this without being a teacher? Without knowing Japanese? What are the positions available? Are there any positions to teach at local high schools or is it only at special English teaching schools?

Anything is possible. But without any language skills or background in education, the choices will be more limited. I would recommend you do a search on Yahoo or Google for "teaching English in Japan" and see what you come up with. There are plenty of sites to help you, and some of the schools offer free housing and other perks. Just be sure you check all the facts and have the proper documentation before you go. There are ALWAYS English teaching opportunities there, though.

There is a program called the Jet Programme. It is for people who live in the United States and England who have a bachelor's degree. They recruit people to teach English in Japan. It is a one year contract and you are provided with housing but you have to pay for your own health insurance. I believe the salary is about $36,000 for the whole year. If you would like to know more info you can contact me or you can visit their website at http://www.jetprogramme.com
