How do you plan to being able to move to Japan?

[protheus]

The average salary here is about 300 euro /month, you need quite some time to gather the money for the ticket and a bit of extra for the life there until hired.

I plan on becoming a super manga artist, and hopefully by posting my work on Deviantart a famous manga-ka will let me become his apprentice.

if you're serious, good luck, that's a seriously competitive and tough industry to enter...

I have a student who is an artist for some tv show that I don't know, but he works his butt off and doesn't get much for it...

RealJames, how long have you lived there now？ I'm doing 2 years college year first. After having some insight of the Japanese Language, I'll then study at TUJ.
Thought I am not an Manga artist, I still intend to study Art/Music/Japanese.

I've been here for two years, but from my experience how long a foreigner has been in Japan is a very poor indicator of how much he knows...

I have no foreigner friends here, in fact outside of the occasional skype with family, and this forum, I keep foreigners out of my life entirely. Even English is as infrequent as possible.
Many foreigners have a different experience here, they attach to others like them and form their own little bubble which is very difficult to join for any japanese people... and they live in miniature versions of wherever they come from. A lot like many Japanese people do when they visit other countries.

My 2 years has been intense, difficult, fun, and a huge learning experience.
Making friends in Japan is enormously difficult for a foreigner.
Adjusting to the culture is a lot more difficult here than in any other (of the 4) countries I've lived in.

It's beautiful and painful, in all ways. I've fallen for it though, in it's glory and sadness. I don't think I could leave.

Oh and if you're still reading: you need a bachelors to get a work visa, it's a req, a 2yr degree might not cut it.

答えが早いねぇ～
Anyway, I do intend to get a BA, but why not reside in Japan after grasping a little bit of the Language. I'm going to learn Japanese from a School that's sponsored by the Embassy of Japan.
