That's a really odd definition. I'd argue there are more CS principals being used in Designing systems, architecture, SRE and Devops than writing code.
More specifically Computer Science is a broad field containing Computation Theory, Operating Systems, Languages, Algorithms + time complexity, and low and high level programming.
If you go into it thinking it's just Software Development, you might be in for a bad time :p. In my Theory of Computation class 50% of the class failed.
More than likely most people who do CS will go into software development/engineering, but it does open the route for Research in many different CS fields too.
I’m a government employee working directly for the city. I work in the Board of Education department and some of my coworkers are foreigners.
We’re basically like a step-up from an ALT (assistant language teacher) as we now rarely teach the classes, and more of going around schools to coordinate the English curriculum.
We help them with lesson planning, choosing and utilizing materials, prepping the room and devices (TV, PC, etc.) and we train teachers by holding seminars. We give them advice on how to tackle the classes, offer guidance, correct mistakes, give ideas for activities.
No overtime required. We come in at 8:15am and leave at 4:00pm SHARP. We get about 30 days of paid leaves each year, excluding the sick leaves, maternity leaves, etc. that were given as well. And we can use the paid leaves consecutively weeks at a time whenever we wanted to.
Atmosphere is friendly and warm, accommodating and open for new ideas, hard work gets acknowledged, and I even got a 10% raise last year.
My wife and I work together, it’s fun. We earn around $80k now and it affords us a comfy lifestyle. We usually spend a month in Europe every summer!
The government? There are a lot of cities that are direct hiring now. No middle-men or dispatch companies.
At first, I was the only one working for them. They told us there’s an opening so my wife applied and she got accepted. Just like that our household income doubled.
OL-job? I don’t work online.
The rest of the teachers were allowed to do so though. They came to school once a week back during spring of 2020, except me.
And speaking of YOUR tax money well spent, they bought and gave Apple iPads for every student in teacher in all public schools in Japan. Again, except me.
>how are non-corporate jobs in japan?
さあ/*Saaaa[~](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/14922/what-does-%E3%81%95%E3%81%82-saa-mean)*.
There are always a few corporate and non-corporate jobs in Japan that don't require excessive overtime. The real problem is [サービス残業/"Service Overtime"](https://jobsinjapan.com/living-in-japan-guide/unpaid-overtime-in-japan/)/unpaid overtime which in many Japanese jobs have the overtime built into your work.
Non-corporate examples:
* Basically all Japanese employees are expected to be dressed and prepped at their worksite **5~10 minutes before the official starting time**. Your "clocking in time" doesn't count----Always just being two minutes early is eight minutes late when it comes time for your yearly job performance review.
* Nearly all Japanese cooks (even at the chef level) are expected to do "cook's clean-up"---washing sauce and fry pans---in their downtime. No breaks allowed.
* All Japanese nurses are expected to do their charting AFTER their job time as サービス残業/"Service Overtime. That averages 1.5hrs of unpaid overtime at the end of their work shift.
* On construction sites, carpenters, labors, etc. are expected to "police the grounds" at the end (and often the beginning) for 20 minutes looking for hazards like nails sticking out and put in temporary bracing before leaving the site: **All unpaid.** If anyone is injured because you failed to correct an obvious hazard during "Service" overtime, you will be fired, demoted, or monetarily censured.
> Chefs definitely fuck off and drink long before the end of shift. That is what the skilled labor visas are for
#rotf
If the foreign "chef" is on a skilled labor visa, then they are washing dishes.

*Hint:* Unless you are a foreign cook/chef at a major 4-star hotel (or working for your very close family), "non-corporate" jobs are even worse than standard salaryman corporate jobs, meh.
Engineering, if you're on the design side is corporate. They tend to pay for any overtime that you work (if it's a law abiding company) so it's not horrible per se but there is a lot of "recommended" overtime that you should do if you want to advance your career. Don't know much about teaching or other fields though
Lol IT is as corporate as it comes bro.
Sorry im not familiar with jobs. ill edit that out
Don’t go IT, go CS. IT isn’t as in demand as people think over there
Honest question (I’m not english native). What is the difference between CS and IT? I asume CS= computer science?
CS = Programming and Development. IT = Everything else, basically.
That's a really odd definition. I'd argue there are more CS principals being used in Designing systems, architecture, SRE and Devops than writing code.
Thank you :)

It’s just we call it different in Spain so I never fully understood how you call it in English :)

Working for the city? Full-time employee?
Yep, working for the city full-time as a gov’t employee. They’re quite strict with rules, because we’re civil servants.
Nice. Didn't know they allow that nowadays, might get myself one.

Dang. So basically a cozy OL-type job and you get to break the doors ar 4 PM. Glad to see my JPY well spent.

LOL Chefs definitely fuck off and drink long before the end of shift. That is what the skilled labor visas are for, slave kitchen cleaners.

You do understand the difference between a chef and a cook, don't you?
Wow. Fuck Japan. lol
I work in a restaurant though part time nowadays and the regular chefs are in at 9am and don't get to go home before 11pm. If that helps.
Yep, thanks for replying!
You're welcome.

True. I used to work as architect. Dont pay overtime.
If by a non-corporate job you mean a cozy job that pays well and does not require overtime, that does not exist.
