I could find employment quite easily in America, even without a family, and without any help from friends, so that's not the problem there. Also, I never said/assumed I would "just marry some random girl" to get a visa.

I thank you for your help, I just had to clear some things up because you assumed too much.

Well, sorry if people assumed too much...

But it still doesn't change the fact that you can't wake up one day and magically have Japanese-citizenship and a job-- even if you do speak the language. Having a University degree is important, especially in Japan.

There are grants and loans for college you know... I too am from an "impoverished" family; but that doesn't keep me from taking some classes.
