They work dead-end jobs, or forever seem to be on the lowest rung of the ladder. I don't see how Japan would be any different in this respect. You can get a respectable job, but it'll be a lot harder and you'll need a lot of luck - same as anywhere.
What are the fantastic jobs? I would like a job where I travel the world too. Where did they start?
