I have heard that if you have some kind of degree you can teach English but I imagine they have to get flooded with people that way as it sounds way too easy so you gotta stand out by learning their language as well

Yes. Been doing it for about two and a half years now.

Though it helps, you don't need to know the language. While it is easy work (especially if you get a good employer in a good location), the turnover rate is pretty high, so there's no shortage of demand for new native speakers.

I had a connection through my university to the board of education in the city I work for in Japan, so I'm a bit of a special case in that regard.

But there are tons of companies and programs that you can apply for if you just want to do some basic teaching work (the name of the position is typically "ALT" or "Assistant Language Teacher"). All you really need is a bachelor's to apply. Any extra you can give them when applying will obviously help though.

Why should I want to do that?

That sounds unpleasant.
