Teaching English in Japan was a way for one Brit to avoid what he called the "drudgery" of working from nine to five in an office.
Darren Kenny, aged 37, told TEFL course specialist i-to-i that he grew tired of being a slave to his mortgage payments and decided to teach English abroad for a change of scenery and lifestyle instead.
His new vocation has also made him feel much more patient and less stressed, he added.
Mr Kenny told the company: "As I now possess a skill that is desirable in so many palaces, I can head somewhere else once my contract expires, or stay on. I didn’t have this luxury back home."
Meanwhile, earlier this month Japan’s statistics bureau revealed that the country’s unemployment rate fell to a four-month low in September 2009, decreasing to 5.3 per cent from the 5.5 per cent registered in August of this year, reported Bloomberg.
