Hello everyone,
I’m Kyllian, I’m 16 years old, and I’m currently in my first year of high school in France, studying in the STMG track (Sciences and Technologies of Management and Business), a program that focuses on subjects like management, economics, and business. I’ll turn 17 soon, and I have a dream: moving to Japan after high school to study in the field of commerce or management.
I’m just starting to learn Japanese step by step, and I hope to join a professional school (senmon gakko, i think?) or a university in Japan. I have several questions and would love to hear from people who’ve had similar experiences or who are considering the same path:
• Cost of living and studies: How much should I save to live and study in Japan for two years (housing, food, tuition fees, etc.)?
• Commerce in Japan: Is it a good idea to pursue a career in commerce there? Is it possible to find a well-paying job with a foreign degree and fluent Japanese?
• My age and my plan: Do you think it’s risky to move to Japan at a young age to live and study in such a different country?
• Experiences and advice: Are there other students who’ve already taken this path or are planning to? What advice would you give to someone like me?
Thank you in advance for your answers, advice, or even sharing your own experiences! It would help me a lot to better prepare for this big project 😀
