Many foreigners who come to Japan start their first job as an English teacher and sadly many stay in that job for their entire time in Japan. My guest today is David Chester who wrote a book exploring the many other freelancing jobs that are available to English speakers. From staring in Japanese TV shows, teaching cooking classes or performing as musicians there are many freelancing opportunities in Tokyo if you know where to find them.
