Some good information in here
I have always been interested in moving to Japan, but not until recently have i been seriously considering it. I am a computer expert with a work history of over 10 years in the US and would really like to move to Japan and possibly get a job there in the same field.
I was really suprised when i read the post from Nyor about being able to get an apartment for 30,000 yen, thats only like $250/month! theres no way i could get a place for that cheap in the states!
I didnt know about the work Visa, i dont have a bachelors degree so would that shut me out? I do have college experience, but just specific classes to learn areas i needed for work and multiple computer certifications. Think they would let me use one of those degrees you can get from a non-accredited university?
I guess im looking for information on what i should do if i want to come visit for a few months. I would have already gone there if i wasnt trapped in this mindset that if i flew over there, i would have no idea where to start.
Are there resources available for someone like myself to find an apartment (before getting there), some simple job to make ends meet and start learning japanese?
Thanks
