There is also the spoiled bunch who doesn't know how harsh reality is. While others think that they can chase their freedom by living a day that is"barely getting by" and continue to have big dreams that is out of their reach..

That drives me nuts! And describes a few in my own family...
I work pretty damn hard to get the things I want. Mostly I don't get them, but not for lack of trying, I suppose...some things are really hard to get. "Working hard in school and having a little tiny job doesn't count," is what my mom says. Eck, "I work hard so I don't have to work so hard" (taken from my math teacher) I don't want to be forty and still trying to get my degree! (no offense) With three college courses plus my highschool courses and a job, I'm trying to get somewhere quickly so I can get my masters faster!


I'm pretty content with life right now....For the most part, anyway....Well, at least, I'm pretty sure I am....

Ha ha, lol. are you a Samurai, an Alchemist or a Ninja? You can't be all three, you can't be all three, especially when an Alchemist is considered to be peasent class back in the days

Anyways, good for you, you are walking down the right path. I mean regardless of which country you see yourself in, the degree is an added insurance, as i mention before, you need to get in the door, and the degree will be one thing that help you get your first step in...

I think if you completely control both english and japanese, and all involving aspects of the languages, you'll get a job in japan in no-time. English teachers are highly wanted there, and only foreigners can complete master the english language (since the "r" isen't used and most people think all l's are r's). Therefor,even if a school that already has an english teacher with even more experience in teaching, chanses are pretty high they will invite you to come work with them. But i guess, he's right for all other jobs that offer job-security (not musicians and other artists).

Nobody THINKS the L sounds like an R... Japanese people have just grown up without any need to pronounce such a sound which causes the problem

Yay! Thread is stuck! *dances*

Oh, well. I'm willing to give up the 'l' sound for a language that makes sense. English makes no sense!

A word about online universities. News recently is that many online universities are not being considered as "accredited" in Japan, even if they are accredited in other countries. University of Phoenix is one of those mentioned as not being recognized as accredited by Japan.

I do think this is somewhat a shame, because even online universities are expensive to attend. There are state institutions which have online programs that are truly accredited and recognized as such by Japan, so do some research before enrolling in an online university.
