Currently a senior in university in the US. Always had a personal interest in Japan and have the opportunity to study abroad senior spring. However, doing so would delay my graduation by a mimimim of one semester, so the earliest I could graduate is december 2025, possibly even may 2026 if I can’t find a job that starts then. I am a finance major and have a job lined up, but I don’t want to work there and am looking for other full time jobs. if I go to Japan, there is no guarantee that my offer will still be there, so i would most likely have to continue my job search after I return. Additionally, because the schedule of Japanese universities is different from American ones, even if I were to go to Japan, I wouldn’t be able to do an internship this summer as the spring semester in Japan is april-july, and summer internships are very important and typically lead to a full time offer.
Should I go? I’d appreciate any advice yall could give, thanks so much.
