I began reading the replies already posted but it seems like a lot of negative responses that are less helpful than anything.

Though, some of them do have a point.

There are ways to accomplish gaining residents in Japan but if you cannot live here and sustain yourself here you will most likely have trouble anywhere else you go. The trick is having the money, the dedication, and that attitude. It is possible and I'm sure much less daunting or difficult as it may seem. The people here have offered many suggestions into how to accomplish such things. I say the first thing that you should consider changing is not your financial situation rather than attitude. If you see yourself as a failure truly then you will fail. I wish you the best of luck and wish that I could help. I myself would love to live in Japan for a couple of years but I don't want to teach english and I'm not sure if my Bachelors in Design means much over there. I figure I should work on the language and my life here though before I can truly consider a life there.
