Thats a good plan, at least its a plan that has "University" in it. So you should be fine. I am not sure if 2 years of learning Japanese is enough, especially LAW is a discipline that require expertise in the specific language in wherever you are practicing.
To alphaduck's note above. What MMM and the rest of us are saying is that, to achieve something, you need to have something to offer. Its a very basic concept of life, you want a car with specific requirements, you need to first be able to afford these requirements. Same thing with migration. You want to move to a country, the country has requirements that you need to meet in order to get a job in the country
Its true, there are no black and white rule saying that "One must have a valid University degree to Japan", however, if you read through the entire thread, this is what we are suggesting
1. To live in Japan (or anywhere) you need $$
2. To make that money you need a job that pays you the $$
3. To get a decent job in Japan, the first thing they look for is a University degree
So essetially, getting a university degree is ONE of the ways to get you in the door, and probably the easiest and most direct way to get this job.
Many have suggested jobs like construction, store clerk etc. You have to put yourself in the shoes of the employer, with job like these, what is the benefit for them to hire a foreigner instead local Japanese?
Ruling out these jobs, you are going to start looking at something more professional, professional jobs that you need to be a subject matter expert, an expertise that you can either gain through experience or from school. While lacking the local Japanese experience, your best bet is school, that piece of paper so call a Degree, IS a proof of this expertise.
Guys, be realistic, you need to start understanding how this world operates.
Another thing for people who is graduating soon. Just so you know, I am not making this up, I am a manager myself, and I do a lot of hiring. We do ask for transcript to see the candidate's shool mark. Some will think that we choose people with good score, but do you know the reason behind this? Its not because someone with a GPA 4.0 can do a better job than someone with a GPA of 2.0. But this score is reflective of how well one learn.. yes the learning ability.
There you have it, education IS important if you want to get a decent job. And for jobs in Japan, they really have no reason to sponsor someone who can't even proof that they have expertise in what they do.
