I have a few questions (okay, "a few" would be putting it lightly...).
I'm 15 years old from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I'm about to start grade 10.
I would eventually like to live in Japan. Maybe for a year, maybe for more. I'm not sure yet. But what I know for sure is that I really want to live there for at least a year. So regarding that I have questions.
In no order whatsoever:
-How long would the plane ride be? I have a family member who flew directly to Tokyo (I think) from Chicago. He told me it took him around 14-15 hours. So from here...maybe 16-17?
-I'll probably be going there before I finish my education. To check out the area beforehand. I wouldn't want to go there without knowing anything about the area. Maybe in some exchange program. Are there any companies or something outside of the schools I would go to would give me a similar opppurtunity? (for work,etc.)
-How would I be able to work there? Would the conditions vary depending on which country I'm in? Would I have to ask my government? Also, would I have to acquire citezenship before being allowed to work there? If so, I've heard that it's a long process...
-Would you be able to recommend a good job that I'd be able to acquire in the Tokyo area? I'd like something with not too many years of studying, but at the same time have a decent pay. I'm aware that I wouldn't be able to get something paying over $70,000. So maybe between $30,000 - $50,000 if possible. I was thinking teaching maybe? And I also know that the Tokyo area is very expensive but I'm not really interested in any other region of Japan. If what I want isn't possible I'd rethink the area. (Can you recommend anything?)
And ya...that's about it
. Sorry if some, or all of these questions have been asked before. I just don't feel like reading through 105 pages or so of posts.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
