Is there a such thing as being "too old" to land a job in Japan? I graduated HS in 2003 but due to unfortunate off and off illness college was put on hold and I did programming work for a short while. I got back in and then became sick again so I ended up leaving again. Now everything is pretty stable and I'm pursuing my CS degree will be done within 3 years but by then I'll be 27. If I were planning to stay here I'd just go and find a job (decently qualified) however I've set my heart on Japan so I'm going after a degree. Will my age make it harder to get a job? I'm also learning the language (aiming towards fluency) and study it at every free moment I find. I'm also making an effort at learning CS related stuff outside my coursework from Japanese sources. What are my realistic chances of going to Japan after graduation? I only interested in programming work (non-game) and not teaching english (not that theres anything wrong with that).
