From what I know you need a degree before you could even hope to have a job as a Manga-Ka. (manga artist).

At least I know it's like that for foreigners. For anyone outside of Japan to get a job in Japan, you have to have a degree in the field you want a career in.

They make it this way so people wanting to live there, contribute to society. They aren't running on the streets. That would look bad.

But in the US. you don't have to have a degree to draw Manga for a living. ^_^
