  4. Do Japanese girls like foreigners, at all?
1: A degree is pretty much everything. A lot of times more important than "work experience." Why would anyone hire you if you don't have any merits? Especially if you can't speak Japanese? Unless you do something like English teaching (where you don't need to know Japanese), but you'd still need a degree anyway.

2: If you have the qualifications and can speak Japanese, it's not hard. It's more about what YOU want to do. Many people here are fine wasting their lives as English teachers. If you want to do more than that, it requires more work, but if you have the qualifications then you should be fine.

3: On the whole, Japanese people don't care what you are, as long as you're a normal person.

4: A lot of it depends on who YOU are. Women are women.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
