Going to a good Japanese university will only look good on a Japanese resume. It will do you no good in Europe or America where university graduates are required to actually have some knowledge.

Is this true even of Toudai? If so, I'm a bit concerned. I'm working on my bachelor's here in the U.S., with the intent to get my master's in Tokyo. I'm still planning on moving back to the U.S. after that though (my wife only promised 2 years in Japan) but will a master's degree in Electrical Engineering count for squat here if I get it in Japan?
