making 300k for selling ramen? i guess you could profit greatly, since ramen is dirt cheap, but still... that's a lot of money

Its interesting to note that the teacher's salary is not included in this list. Teachers make a LOT of cash in Japan. There's a huge societal importance placed on education.. even afterschool tutors. If you have a college degree (BA preferred), its pretty easy to get a $60,000 a year pay just teaching people english
