Just a quick question. What's the deal with community colleges? What are the possibilities of getting a job in Japan still good wiht a degree from a community college? Or are the chances less? I doubt I would ever take this route (finding an English teaching job, in Japan for example) But it would be a alternative if my current plan goes astray.

And due to my grades, I can not get into a university, that's out of the question

If you get into CC and get good grades then you can then transfer into a university.

Yes, it is. I took some summer courses at a community college with a name that was also two Cs. Thus, it was CCCC. :D

Geology, Alegebra for Non-Technical Majors, and two of my French credits.

I had heard the math and science courses, which counted towards my degree, were easier at the community college than at my university. I took the French credits just because I wanted them out of the way. I could have taken Japanese, but at the time, I was more interested in the bottom line to my GPA than I was where my future might lie beyond graduation. That, of course, changed later, but I can hardly claim I was always an industrious worker in university at all times. No one would believe me even if I did, am I right? :P

So, possibilities? Bad with as many BA holders currently in Japan and out of work. Chances less? Even less than they were a few years ago, unless you already have a visa.
