My master was also along the line of AI, but more to do with neuron circuit, however, I never did any work in that area, so I never tried looking at the robots manufacturer. But that is definitely an area that worth investigating

Not trying to scare everyone that "when time is bad, the foreigner is the first one to go", but you always have to remember, the cost to sponsor and support a foreigner is high, and in business term, it is an extreme overhead.
So, to me, thats more "case" to support our statement that the employer really need a good reason to hire/keep a foreigner.

I am already aware of the situation in Japan. Japan is facing tough times, and there have been many redundancies, so it is not surprising that many foreigners are losing their Job. I can understand since there are many businesses here in the UK and local businesses that have gone into administration.
There are a few years before I even graduate, I am hoping the situation would have changed by then, however I have not set my mind on this job alone. I have already considered other possibilities for the worst case scenario. I may consider AI... but I will weigh out my options once I have graduated and may just decide to stick with teaching in the UK.
