Anything is technically possible.

I could technically free solo the north face of a local mountain with nothing but a pair of shorts. However, you can be sure that I wouldn't be posting it on a mountaineering forum if I were to survive.

The fact remains that unless you have a Japanese bloodline, Japanese spouse or working holiday visa, you'll need either a university degree or relevant work experience of up to 10 years.

Have I seen people slither their way through? Of course I have. I know some people who had some good connections, I know some people who had to sleep with certain individuals and I even know a few who faked their own diploma's using Photoshop. But trust me, these numbers are so small that I wouldn't go around boasting about it.

And here I was getting all excited because I thought someone else saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico.

I got on a plane, went to Tokyo, got my hustle on, found a job, worked there for a few years, hustled some more, got a job at a university which gives me 6 months paid vacation and allows me enough free time to concentrate on doing ish I care about, like getting my company off the ground.


What the hell company gives someone 6 months paid vacation?

I'm 21 and well aware of hardships that's going to come from going to Japan with a college degree, not even that trying to survive in your own country without a college degree is hard enough.

What you are saying doesn't add up. Not to mention the false hope your spreading is awful.
You've obviously not read half of what i've said. I work at a university. i don't have a masters. For the last time yeah, listen yeah, I didn't effin say I WANTED people to come here with no knowledge. Read the posts dumbass

Killyoself has backed off from "encouraging" to now saying "it is possible". I don't anyone would disagree that it isn't possible. However if you asked my advice (which has happened here dozens of times) I wouldn't encourage that path.
MMM, i'm dissapointed. I thought you actually read my posts. But after saying in like 7 posts that I work at a university (not in Shinjuku) you've still managed to get it wrong.

uch, whatever. I'm not going to waste my time on this ish if nobody is even reading what i'm saying.

Y'all on some hater ass ish. I bet if I nodded to you guys on the street you'd shy away and pretend I didn't exist cos you're on some foreigner complex type ish. QUIT HATIN!!!!!! Lying scumbags

Also, this is just my/my friend Nick, Calum, Graham, Julie, Niall, experience but, if you really want to move here JUST DO IT!!!! A lot of people are saying you should go for a week and check it out, but in my opinion that's a terrible waste of money. There is no possible way you can even get a glimpse of the working lifestyle here unless you just bite the bullet and move.

The point I was making is that YOU CAN COME HERE AND IF YOU'VE GOT ANY HUSTLE YOU CAN GET A COMPANY TO SPONSOR YOUR VISA REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE A DEGREE OR NOT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU CAN SPEAK JAPANESE OR NOT
--------------------------------

These are all qoutes from you. Next time try to remember what you post before telling a lie. You're also going to get banned if you don't lose the attitude, warning you before it happens. I made a statement how you being at an University doesn't add up and will NOT happen to 99% of people who go thinking they have the "gangsta curisma" to get by.
