About ten years ago I took a year off to teach English in Japan. Within a couple of months I was dying to go back to development.

Trust me, even compared to other white collar jobs, you would not believe how cushy we have it.

Well to be honest teaching English in Japan is one of the worst careers you can choose. Competition is super stiff and pay is super low.

I don't know what you was expecting.

I never said career. But it pays better than other common working holiday jobs, like bartending.
