I am seriously thinking about moving to Japan in the future after finishing college, and MAYBE university. I am currently in a business marketing program… but like some people I wouldnt know where to start!!
Best way to go there is as an english teacher, you get good $, and you can stay for a year and figure out what you want to do after. You can also keep extending that for as long as you want. Best way to get permanent residence there is to get married.
you should go get a TESOL degree.
and then apply thru JET program.
probably the easiest and best way to live in Japan for a extended period of time. if you are actually interested in living japan doing your business marketing stuff, then maybe try to get a coop job in japan that is related to your work. you can compare the working environment of canada and japan.
have you ever been to japan though? do you just want to move because they have jdm tyte cars? haha.
i have never been to japan myself but i know lots of people (foreigners and japanese) that lived in japan for school or work. it’s not as “exciting” as you may think. i suggest you go there and maybe travel or live there for about 4 months or so. then make up your mind. don’t just move there without a plan.
Ya just to let you know, theres not skylines driving all over the place. Most of the cars there are less than 5 years old and are very compact lol. This is such a terrible thread, go to some research instead of asking people on a forum where 95% of people havn’t even been
i have done alot of research cause i to am planning on moving to japan add me to msn ill give you all the help i can skyline_obsessed_driftnut@hotmail.com
Actually cost of living isn’t bad depending on where you go… my step father lived in Japan off and on in different areas due to his work and cost of living really depends. In some of the smaller cities its actually cheaper than here, also just outside of the bigger cities. I also know 2 others teaching in Japan and according to them costs of living is not bad at all.
Right on the money. Also, expect to work 10-hour days. The lifestyle is not as easy-going as it is in Canada/US. You will wake up at 6am to be at work for 8pm. Then leave work at 6pm to be home for 8pm.
