I am planning on living and working in Japan; but first I want do do a four year s/w course in Japanese Studies (that means i will spend the third year studying in a Japanese university. By doing Japanese Studies in particular, will that help me in getting a good job in Japan? Or would it be better to get a deree in something such as buisness studies or science ect. and then learn japanese later on?

i'm sorry i didn't read the rest of the posts (50 pages!!!) but has anybody mentioned studying abroad? my friend recently got to study in kyoto studying abroad and from the looks of it, she is having the time of her life. if you are a shy type of person, you will meet all types of people from all types of cultures and stay in japan to boot!

This past year, I did a two week homestay exchange in Japan with my high school. Almost all the people in the group (eight of us) want to go back, probably with JET or something similar at first. My aunt did that in the eighties and she had no prior Japanese experience, but learned fast! It's silly to think of teaching English in Japan as "lowering yourself". It's an excellent way to learn about the culture without jumping through all the hoops to move there permanently, and apparently it pays decently. If you think you want to live in Japan, something small like that would be a great idea to test the waters, which is very important when acclamating to other cultures. Even though I'm not planning on majoring in Japanese, or teaching, I'll probably still do it for the reasons I mentioned.

So I want to clarify some things that I have heard to see if anyone else has heard these things. One thing I have heard is that if you have a spousal visa it's pretty easy to get a job just doing grunt work at a huge company like Sony because in Japan they usually don't care what type of degree you have, just the fact that you have one.
Also another thing I have heard is that the chances of finding a job in Japan once you've been out of college for a few years diminishes hugely because most companies are looking for people right out of college. My Japanese teacher at my university told me this because being a native Japanese person she can't even find work with her bachelor's and master's degree. Just curious if anyone else has heard anything about this... my first post here at this site btw

Hello,
For 3 years I will hopefully get my bachelors degree in geology engineering(or 5 if I decide to go for masters..), so my question is, if I learn japanese in the meantime, what are my chances of landing a job as fresh graduate(especially if I'm willing to work in smaller cities, where rythm is bit slower)? What can I do to improve my marketability as a fresh grad?
