Was it something I said? Whatever it was, I didn't mean it. I haven't meant anything I've said for years. Except what I just said. I think

Let's all take a deep breath and stop this immature bickering. If your post is not on topic, then don't click "Submit Reply".

I'm just trying to defend myself. I wish people would stop going off topic and taking stabs at me too.

Killyouself,

The post was directed at you, but it can be meant for those who choose to do the same to you. Also please remember what you post I don't particularity care to quote the words used but as anyone wants to look it is in the thread.

Anyways take it as a friendly gesture. We don't need to bite each other to get points across. Like I said in my previous post, the main reason why the college education route is stressed is for the simple fact the masses that want to go to Japan just simply cannot wheel and deal there way there. The Japanese Government has simply not set up a system that allows people to come and work here free of will. Maybe in say 20 to 30 years immigration might change to allow more freedom on those who want to go there (birth rate being the big catalyst). Right out of High school, unless you have a lot of experience in certain fields, it's going to take awhile ( for me, if I do choose to go it would be at least 6-8 years before such an journey is made).

Also this will be off Topic, but I'm at a lost to why I have been quoted?


1 Corinthians 10: 31-33
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Wow, never knew that a difference in opinion was considered hate. I'm a pretty hateful guy then. If that's the case, I hate everyone.

Before the fire and flames, my point was to restate that it's hard to find good, solid, foundation to live in Japan without much of a BA, at least. It's possible to find yourself in a stable situation in any foreign country without any sort of college degree, but it doesn't happen often enough to be counted as a reliable means to follow.

You'll find the senseless bickering will cease pretty quick when killyoself takes a chill pill. Wow.

You're the one that asked where 'all this illiterate hate came from' Sounds like an insult as opposed to difference of opinion to me. What exactly do you find illiterate?

I don't need a chill pill, I suggest you down a jar of sleeping pills and wash it down with a bottle of vodka though, do us all a favor and spare us from your sarcastic comments.

I kind of does happen often enough to be counted as a reliable means to follow. That's why the majority of foreign people working in Japan don't have a degree. Would I recommend it to the average Japan Forum reader? The answer would be no.

The vast majority of foreigners living and working in Japan do not have degrees. The vast majority of foreigners living and working in Japan are Korean, followed by Chinese and Filipinos, and do everything from welding to commercial fishing. Physical, manual labor is a common path for these foreigners in Japan.

Now if you are talking about foreigners from the West (Americas/Europe/Oceania) living in Japan, then the numbers change the other way (and I think that's what we are talking about). A majority of Westerners living in working in Japan are English teachers. Most teaching positions, public (JET) or private (ECC, Geos, etc.) require a degree and/or some level or experience or training.
