Getting a white collar job in Japan as a dropout? (for Japanese natives) - 04-19-2011, 02:01 PM

Once, some random Japanese person contacted me through Skype. He said he dropped out of Uni after 2 years because he didn't see the point (I think he said something to the effect of 'you can still get good job without Uni" but that was my guess because he had an accent)

He said he works for a company where he has to correspond with foreign customers via email in English. He had been in Canada in HS for exchange student program for a year or two.

I haven't heard from him since, so I wasn't able to ask him this question: In Japan, even if you don't have a Uni degree, can you get a respectable job at a company like he seems to have? (I guess not for gaijins)
