Just to clarify, I'm 25. I went to a public university in my home state that is nowhere near Japan. I grew up in a small Texas town with no Japanese speakers.

If you're still in high school and don't have the opportunity to learn there, I feel your pain: I was once in your shoes.

But if you're older, you have the ability to go where you want. You only need to decide how important speaking Japanese is to you. For me, I decided that learning a third language was more important than majoring in electrical engineering.

In a roundabout way, learning Japanese led me to getting a doctorate in jurisprudence rather than becoming an engineer.
