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).

The Japanese are a lot more conscious when it comes to age but 27 is still young! Heck, I'm thinking about starting my new life in Japan and I'm around 10yrs older than you.
