No offense but you will probably only be able to get a job in Japan as an English teacher.
As many have said before, the thinking of the Japanese:
Why hire an American (or any other foreigner) to do a job, having us spend
money on sponsorships when we have a country full of able bodied people?

I'm moving to Japan in late 2010 on a spousal visa, I can apply for any job I wish, no offense taken, bro!

(except for the one's that require master's...like...all the high-paying jobs.)

EDIT: I said this because I won't need sponsorship. Just improvement in my Japanese.

Yep! Well.......
It's because I'm pro.

The actual procedure is really a pain in the rear to go through, but it's well worth it.

Like....you have to have one of their family members mail a letter to the Japanese Embassy closest to them...which is a big inconvenience.

I think most people frown on this, because it's a short cut in a sense. It bypasses all the going to college, looking for a job, getting sponsored things, and takes you straight to Japan.

Are you asking me a question? Are you talking about the Spousal Visa? I didn't understand what you're saying at all...it's really not that complicated of a procedure. Just a pain in the butt...but very possible.

The birthrate in Japan has dropped for 28 consecutive years. Japan has the least number of children and the most elderly in the world. Eventually there will indeed be a lack of able-bodied people. Healthcare and blue collar manufacturing jobs already rely on foreign workers. Due to Japan's lack of desire or inability, whichever it may be, to have children, it must embrace immigration or just... die. There are constantly newspaper articles about this here.

Yep! I've heard this quite a lot.

Here in North Carolina, I see more Latin descendants who don't know more than a few sentences of English working in low-paying jobs, than actual US citizens.

@alanx
nah i was pretty much asking how you found a female in japan to marry already when your so young, but idk if you've been to japan b4 or not, and it looked like you didnt have any plans to go to college so i was wondering how you were going to support her.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a lack of desire. More women want to be career women in Japan now-a-days, right? They're opting out of the housewife stuff or the traditional role of one...so I read a good while back anyway.
