It could serve as a source of good information...maybe rename it to "What must a person do in order to realistically live in Japan" or something like that. We could compile all the information on exchange programs for schools, what would be the best subject to major in while in college if one wants to go to Japan. If college is not an option, what skills or trades are in demand in Japan, how much experience is needed for those trades, etc. Just an idea.
A question about degrees, does anyone know Japan's policy on distance degrees? I know Taiwan doesn't see them as valid. Is Japan the same? If Japan accepts them I think that would be a great alternative to those who cannot enroll in a college full time but still want a degree to go Japan. |
I agree with this thread. I wanted to be a veterinary surgeon, but I am not sure medical is the right path for me. I have always loved travelling and experiencing new places, especially places with the ocean nearby, and have since considered careers in writing, teaching internationally, and things like marine biology. I have visited Japan, and plan on going back for more trips, but I am also interested in taking a job in Japan and living there and exploring the culture and the people more. I am still an undergraduate college student, and since I am still deciding what major to choose, I was wondering if anyone could direct me, or advise me, on what majors might be beneficial to what I want to do. Thank you
