Hello everyone, so as the title says, I'm looking to move to Japan in like 2 to 3 years. I'm just starting to learn the language but I wanted to know what the best options were before really planning everything.
I graduated in early 2023 with a European/international law masters degree in France and I'm now working as a jurist in a law firm (I have 1 year experience).
My girlfriend, on the other hand, has a master's degree in political science and is working in a non governmental organisation for now.
I guess we're both looking to do a PHD in our respective fields. Although I'm also (strongly) considering just working for an international organisation or non governmental organisation.
Also, although I'm now working in the field of law, I'm looking to get experience in IT and take more courses than I already have (which would not be difficult), also I'm considering getting experience in teaching in an elementary school in french (yes I'm indecisive but love all three fields and would be willing to take the easiest path with the aim of moving to Japan).
I wanted to know what are the possibilities considering our situation. I know learning the language will make everything so much easier, so we're both doing that right now to give ourselves the best chances to move but I'm not so sure how feasible it is. Would it be better to do a PhD abroad and then look to work/teach after ?
I hope my post is not too long and boring and I thank you in advance for your answers.
