If I don't get into university for Japanese Studies (which I have applied for) I was thinking of visiting Japan to study the language and learn more about Japan itself. Now (by the end of this year anyways) I will be a college graduate graduating from my 3 year course in music studies and have been getting overall high grades in music. I've already deciding I'm emigrating as soon as I can to somewhere when I get the abilities to make a decent living there (I know it may be generic and/or lots of people here seem to think it's a bad idea but I have always loved teaching whether it be music theory or something else and language teaching sounds interesting to me). It's not that I've ever been looking at different countries until recently but due to my intense distaste for England (I'm Scottish but I had to move up when I was 8 for my dad’s work) and most things English that I decided emigration was not only imminent but essential. So if I went to Japan and decided I liked it there and that it was somewhere I would like to emigrate to, would the fact that I've studied the language in the country (as well as obviously being to speak English) and my college course qualification be enough to get me a work visa for something like teaching and eventually after a few years a residence/citizenship visa?
