Well put. This comes down to my point (And others) on whether the Japanese MacDonald will sponsor a foreigner to sell burgers.

Reality tell us that NO they won't. The cost out weight the benefit by a few tonnes.

As Sangetsu stated, to get this anywhere close to having a chance to move to Japan is if you are some kind of professional. By professional we mean:

- Engineers
- Programmers
- Teachers (professors)
- Lawyers (I could be wrong, someone correct me please)
- Doctors
- Researchers
- Accountants
- etc

Notice how MacDonald servers, Gas Station Attendant, Store Clerk, Garbage collectors are not on the list? Well, guess what, these jobs also don't need a degree in the US......
