For recent grads, there are 3 roads into teaching in Japan but “eikaiwa” is the most heavily traveled road.

Teaching in Japan  “Eikaiwa” The Most Traveled Road
“Eikaiwa” refers to the teaching of English conversation and it’s billion dollar industry in Japan. These consist of your large chain schools like ECC, Berlitz, Geos & Aeon. They employ thousands of English teachers all over Japan and can be found in all but the tiniest cities. There are literally thousands of “eikaiwa” schools dotting the country side.All of these schools are attempting to carry out the daunting task of teaching English to the Japanese.

What You Need to Teach
In order to get a job teaching English in Japan, you will need to be a college graduate from any field – (sorry but 2 year degrees won’t cut it.You need to be a native level fluent speaker of English. There are some that do find teaching jobs in Japan even though English is not their first language but this is more an exception than a rule.

Although there is no minimum wage, most teachers drag in  250,000 yen a month before taxes.  A typical work week will be 5 days long. Don’t expect weekends off. Saturdays are usually work days. The “eikaiwa” or English conversation business whirs like a motor on Saturadays and Sundays and someone has to teach the students right? This means that most teachers work at least one Saturday or Sunday with another weekday off.Most school’s vacation packages are remarkably similar. 2 weeks of paid vacation and a handful of national holidays off is the norm. Of course there will be a bit of difference between how many national holidays any given school observes, but expect 8 to 10 per year. It’s worth noting that ECC has the best vacation package of the monster chain schools and  arguably the  fewest complaints. Here is a handy chart to help you compare salaries and working conditions for huge chain schools like Geos, ECC, Berlitz and Aeon.

You should expect roughly a 40 hour work week. Although each school is a little bit different, nontheless, expect 20 to 25 actual teaching hours and a few administrative or office hours.Many schools will subsidize your health insurance or pay for it out right. Typical office hours are filled by grading student work, taking class notes, preparing future lessons or just chatting with students. Furthermore, teachers are sometimes expected to hand fliers as well. No joking here folks, by the end of an average day, you’ll know you worked. When the dust settles, your typical teacher workds roughly 40 hours per week.

Larger chain schools, mentioned above,  have fixed curriculums. What this means is that you’ll be using their textbooks and other teaching materials. For those who don’t have a lot of teaching experience it’s a helpful in reducing stress (there already is quite a bit in adjusting to the culture and learning the language etc.Creative types will probably find it a bit stifiling.

Students  assigned to a typical teacher schedule will probably be of all ages. Literally from 5 to 75 year olds. Some schools have only children as students like Amity English school and Peppy Kids Club. Other  schools like Gaba concentrate on adults.Because of how cut-throat competitive this industry is, most schools cater ot all ages. Most teachers teach children, young professionals and some housewives.

Most of your large chain schools will provide you with some type of accommodations. This is a huge help because it’s tought to find accommodaions without the help of a Japanese national. Not to mention it’s also quite expensive. But the type provided will vary, you should expect things to be half the size of what you might find in most western countries. Furnishings are usually sparse and typically will be collections of things from departing teachers.

As more and more people learn about cosmic ordering, more and more are looking to get involved with it. Place an order and learn to move forward!

Check out all the people in the world who are getting what they really want. You already know, though that it doesn’t work for everyone. What are celebrities and other successful people doing that the rest of us not? Does the cosmic ordering service really exist?

If you’ve ever grumbled when you saw someone else win a great prize or get a promotion, then without realizing it, you placed an order to your cosmic ordering service. Envy and distain at another’s success reinforces the fact that you believe you’ll never have that success and invites the ordering service to bring you more misery and poverty for your lunch.

Think about going out to dinner. If you see someone with a great dinner, do you get angry? Chances are, all you do is order what they’re having! You’d be happy for them and hope that it would be as good for you whenever your dinner shows up.

If all that is true, why would you not find joy in another’s success? You can delight in the pleasure that they receive knowing that your success will be just as sweet. If you get bitter, angry or disappointed it only means you don’t believe you can have it too. At that moment, you place an order for failure.

Many religions tell us that prayer and the power of prayer can bring us anything we want. There’s a catch. You have to believe. Recently scientists found that if you apply the principals of quantum physics to this same belief system, there is scientific evidence that what was scoffed as religious dogma is true.

The truth is that the application of the application of the mind’s power and energy can make it happen. This is honest, simple proof.

There are too many things that can make you fail if you are just looking at positive affirmations. If you have had problems in the past, this can be reinforced and it can take away a lot of the good that you have created. Some affirmations do stick, but it takes time if the old beliefs are still around.

So what are the cosmic ordering secrets? You need to do a thorough housecleaning of your brain before you start any program to attain your life’s desires. You need to start with a clean slate and realize it’s okay to accept all the great wealth the Universe has to offer.

There are many different methods that can let you start off fresh. Just like a vacuum cleaner is a better tool for removing dirt on a carpet than a small tooth brush, look around for the tools that will really suit you and that will let you get the life you want.

Look at self-hypnosis, subliminal affirmations and binaural frequency waves to help you move forward. These tools are great when it comes to helping you get the results that you want, and when you use them, you can understand your own subconscious a lot better. This will help you avoid sabotaging your own attempts at success.

Your mind hates change. It fights to keep you in a steady state so unless you believe that you already have what you want, just by using your cosmic ordering system; it fights you tooth and nail. These additional tools help to believe you already are there and relieves you of the fight to improve. It even makes it uncomfortable not to achieve and receive everything you want, because you already believe it exists.

You can have anything you want from the cosmic ordering system. Make sure that your order is what you really want and help it to come to reality with your belief.

Trying to figure out which race to go with for your mage, either when you roll your new one or race change in the near future? Have you decided looks aren’t a big factor, because mage always looks cool? Then this guide is the place for you. We’ll talk about the benefits each race brings to the table, and figure out the best PvP and PvE races among them.

Undead are the first to go on the chopping block. For years Undead has been the best PvP race on horde side, possibly in the game, for all classes. But patch 3.3 is changing that, with a nerf to Will of the Forsaken that will put it on a shared forty-five second cooldown with PvP trinket effects. Add in their lack of anything worthwhile for PvE, and Undead is, for the first time since WoW started, beginning to look like a bad choice.

Blood Elves and their racial Arcane Torrent are the next contestants for “best race”. The silence effect of Arcane Torrent is great for PvP, making Blood Elves one of the more popular options for high-end arena. But for PvE, the mana regen is mostly useless unless you are low level. Endgame mages won’t be having any mana problems Arcane Torrent could help with, making Blood Elves another race that is fairly useless for PvE.

Troll is the last race on the Horde mage list, and have always been the least popular. That may change soon though. Da Voodoo Shuffle is a useful talent for PvP, reducing the duration of snares and roots. And Berserking is possibly the best Mage racial in the game. In PvP it is another powerful haste buff, allowing for immense burst. And in PvE it is another cooldown to pop often, providing the best DPS improvement of any racial.

The pecking order of Horde races for Mage is pretty obvious in retrospect. Undead, come 3.3, are mediocre for PvP and continue to be useless for PvE. Blood Elf is, as always, acceptable for PvP and leveling, but lacking in PvE pizazz. And Troll has an enormously powerful racial that benefits both PVPers and PvEers. As hard as it is to believe, Troll is da best.

I’ll wrap this up by reminding you to pick on racials only if you don’t mind the looks of the race. The benefit of a given racial is relatively minuscule; talents, gear, and skill are all infinitely more important. In the end, Blizzard has been working to reduce racials almost since the beginning, with nerfs and the removal of certain class-based racial abilities. It’s only a matter of time before all of them are barely worth noting, so don’t play something you can’t stand for a minor, temporary buff.
