Hi everybody,
I'm slightly reticent to open a brand new thread asking questions about obtaining a working visa without a degree; however, I'm planning to move to Japan in September of this year to begin studying at a Japanese language institute for 18-months, at the completion of which I'll sit the Level 1 proficiency test. I've studied Japanese previously and have visited many times. I'm conversationally fluent although I can't watch the news too easily and keep up. I can read about 700-800 kanji and can write about 300.
I also fall into the category of being one of those gaijin that doesn't have a university degree but will eventually end up seeking employment or further education after my course is finished.
Does anybody have any advice on what kind of employment opportunities I might be afforded with ikkyu but without a degree? Alternatively, what suggestions do people have for courses to study in Japan should I end up needing to further my education at university?
Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
