Graduate from college if you want to live in Japan.

For how much? Do you have to find your home and all that?

And why would a fast-food restaurant hire a foreigner. The legal red-tape HARDLY makes it worth it.

forgot to point out that most of them have 2-3 part-time jobs

also i don't think working in fast-food chain would qualify for a working visa

I'm not saying that achieving a difficult accomplishment was BS. It's just the overrating on all this stuff. If you worked hard through college to get that "rewarding" diploma, good for you.

But what about the rest of us? What if we can't even afford college? We can still work in big time businesses with the smarts. Just give us a test. Give us a chance to prove ourselves.

Just because you didn't graduate college doesn't mean you're a worthless little turd who can't do anything right in big time workforce.

Sadly, that's pretty much exactly what it means in Japan.

I just happen to be from Milwaukee, myself. There's two universities there that teach Japanese, and there's also a top-knotch Japanese program in Madison. If you really want to live in Japan, apply for federal aid (you can get enough to go to a state school easily), learn some Japanese, and graduate. If you do well during your first couple years of university, it's also pretty damn easy to get a scholarship to study in Japan for a year - now wouldn't that be nice?

I never said or would say that people that haven't graduated from college are worthless turds. I am just saying graduating opens doors...like being able to work in a foreign country.

2-3 part time jobs is probably more work than a 9-5....and no, you would never qualify for a work visa...unless you were playing Donald McDonald or The Colonel for a promotion.

They base it just off of that? Ugh, this pisses me off. I know that foul language isn't really liked with the rules on here, but I just have to say:

THAT IS BULLS***.

I can't stand it when people base your intelligence off of schoolwork. Society is too damn shallow.

Fine. If it comes down to it, I'll FORCE those friggin' doors open. You won't be able to keep me down, and I'll shove back when it comes down to it.

Welcome to reality. What else would it be based off of? Give you a test? Guess what. They have tests. I have taken plenty. But it was the graduating that got my foot in the door.

That is the perfect attitude for a lavish and luxurious career in Japan that will last about a week to 10 days.
