Pretty decent pay. I'm sure there are a lot of young people out there willing to do that. I would.

275,000 yen a month is better than a 4 year college graduate for an IT position in Japan... just check the jobs to the right of the page.

If they'll throw in a subsidized apartment, I want this job. I would make a great ogre. What other job pays you to scare kids?
