Soooo.. What's to stop people saying that they have graduated from College.. when they didn't? Saying you could speak Japanese.. but hadn't graduated from "College" what job's are actually going to make a confirmation call to the country you're from to make sure?
This is going to be verified before you even leave the country. When you get your working visa at the embassy/consulate in your country, you will be required to bring your bachelor's degree for proof of graduation.

Hello japanforum ppls.
I made a post a WHILE back asking about going to Japan. Thing is I never came back to check up on it... I am asking again because it's almost time for me to go to college. In september I'll be starting my senior year. I'll be 18 in January. So yeah, I have to get all the planning ready, because from what I have read Japan is a pretty tough country to get into.
So about me:
I am 17 y.o and am living in the Dominican Republic. I was born and lived about 12 years in U.S so english is technically a "native" language of mine. Or do they see it differently in Japan since spanish is also "native"? I also LOOK like spanish is my native language and english might of been something I picked up along the way . When I made my last post I wanted to do software engineering. I decided that I am going for Mechatronics.
I can study this at the same place I planned on studying software. At ITLA ( You can check out their page it's "itla.edu.do").
Thing is, I only get two years of education so that would be equivalent to an associate's degree right?
So let's say I complete the program, can I get into a college in New York (say, Vaughn) and do another 2 years to get a bachelor's degree?
It would be easier this way because it is easier for me to pay tuition here since I can land a better job with 0 experience, than o do it in the U.S where I will most likely be making less money.
Reason for going to Japan is that I just want to experience the country .
Not because of anime or something stupid like that. I just find the idea of Japan attractive. You know it's "different" in so many ways. And I am a firm believer that to truly understand a place/country you actually have to spend time in society, in "the real world".....socializing in said country you know?... Not in a 5 star resort that is made so foreigner's can feel more at home... What's the fun in that? So yeah sorry for asking pretty much the same question twice but I couldn't find my old post.... Any advice would be appreciated

EDIT: I'm trying to find any other colleges in N.Y that give Mechatronics but looks like Vaugn is the only one available... Looks pretty damn expensive too. I think any private would be out of the question but I don't see much community colleges, anywhere not just N.Y, with Mechatronics.

What if someone is young and good in studies and have a sound knowledge of his or her stream and would like to work in Japan, Will he not get the job?


Peace:

@MMM - You said, to live in Japan, you need to have done 4 years of college, i.e. a 4-year course. Would you be eligible to live there with 3 years of college & 2 years of university? I am currently studying HND IT at college (my third year), with the goal of 'jumping' into the 3rd year (of a 4-year course) at university. Apparently, after completing the HND course, you can jump into the 3rd year of university, instead of starting from the first year. Please reply soon
