So the Watsuki Nobuhiro has started an AU version of Rurouni Kenshin:

Only two chapters so far. There's also an episode zero, but I haven't seen a translated version yet.
From what I hear, it's not the same story as the live-action movie version that was recently released.

Haha, it is about getting paid more for less work. But did you account for the 20 days of nenkyuu and the medical/dental benefits? And I'm guessing eikaiwa salaries have risen with inflation, while JET salaries started high but haven't changed much over the years. The only change they made was lowering the JET salary for the 1st year and raising it for the 2nd and 3rd year.
Btw, do CIRs make more than ALTs?

I'm (slowly) trying to write a textbook too in my spare time. I think I might go more into the curriculum development side of teaching eventually.
