Depends on the students, what materials you have, and how you enjoy it If you hate kids, why would you want to be around them, etc.?

Is that even enough for the SSV? A 6 month/1 year contract with an Eikaiwa would be better.

Yeah I was thinking of GABA (who have a fun wikipedia article describing all of the lawsuits they've exchanged with the general union), not because they pay great or have awesome benefits but because you can have a flexible schedule and the emphasis is one-on-one teaching with non-child students. Presumably adults and high school students studying for entrance exams would be reasonably motivated (but I imagine there are workers who are required to take lessons for no real reason by their employers...) Not really looking to sing Head Shoulders Knees And Toes all day.
I spent two months traveling the whole country last year and really like the general vibe. Before I ditch my career over here though I definitely need to figure out some way to experience teaching english in japan, as close to the eikaiwa experience as possible since that what I imagine I'd be doing.
