Question # 3. Can married people go to Japan to teach ESL?
Question #3. Can married people go?
Our best workers were married, especially when they didn't have kids. Kids usually meant that someone had to be home to take care of them. No kids means two-for-one at the working visa.
It's a hassle getting a working visa for someone. Not hard, just a hassle. And, if truth be told, it wasn't all that hard for me. My office manager, however, got a big runaround, made trips to Tokyo, filed papers, wrote and rewrote stacks of documents and chased down a barrel of documentation - tax forms, profit/loss statements and so on. In the beginning it could NOT be done online.
However, if one of the married partners are not happy, then neither of them are happy. It's easier to please one person than two…sometimes, usually. But, single people get lonely. homesick. Well…married people do, too….especially wives for some reason.
When a married couple went home, it was usually because the wife/mother wanted to. Something about home seemed more appealing to them than staying on in Japan.
However, not a few times, AFTER returning to learn that things were NOT the way they remembered, those couples let me know, they wished they could come back or that they were sorry they had left.
Married people make good teachers.
