i plan on moving to the USA in a few months and i'll study there for 4 years, but i've been thinking of living in japan as a second option to the usa (since i know basic japanese, even though i need to practice more)… but in the US, i'm gonna study film and cinema, and in the first year i'll take a 6 month firefighter/emt course to work as a paramedic in the long run.
the main complaint i hear is the work ethic, and the lack of a social life. i'm from a country where every adult has friend groups and hang out weekly as if they were teenagers, so social life is very good here. my parents say people from other countries are "cold"… so how bad is it in japan?
and, considering i have more than 4 years to perfect my japanese, how much of a challenge would it be if i moved to japan with a firefighter career technical certificate?
anyhow, i'm planning to live in japan for a couple of months as a transfer student, because i want to experience the world. but any advice is helpful, even if it's brutal!
another detail is that i'm studying film, and i'm planning on doing a tattoo apprenticeship, so i could have many job opportunities!
