I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread this morning. I've flipped through the meat of it and what MMM says rings true.
My Question is this. While finding a job teaching English to support a new life in Japan would likely be the easiest way to go about it... What about finding a job relative to my degree earned? Next to Business I think that my degree in IT and Computer Programming Could still be a skill used. I mean, I may not be fluent in Japanese but no matter that language barrier, programming languages are the same worldwide.
While I'd be willing to work as an English teacher to support myself, how realistic is it to find a job pertaining to my degree while I'm in Japan?
Thanks in advance to any replies
