Hi,
So I posted here the other day and unfortunately was given a lot of wrong information – so thank you to those who clarified certain factors.
My main goal is to learn the Japanese language and studying 2 years in Japan at a language school seems like the best way to learn it.
Depending on how my 2 years in Japan are will dictate whether or not I plan to continue to live in the country or move back home.
Now, I don’t have a degree so after language school I came up with 2 options.
-
Get accustomed to the area, the locals, and possibly open or jointly open with a local some sort of business to get the business manager visa. (I understand the cost needed and have that readily available) I also have business experience in my home country.
-
Attend a vocational school for IT and hopefully land a job, if finding work becomes difficult and I still want to stay, I’d then transfer to Waseda University to finish a degree.
I’m wondering if vocational school is worth it for foreigners? Is there a big pay discrepancy between those who went to a vocational school in comparison to university for foreigners?
What’s the average hourly rate for foreigners wanting to work pt? Can I pay rent off that income? I’m more then set in terms of funds for school and my future which is why I rather not dig into my savings to pay for rent and rather use pt job money to cover that expense.
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.
I’m 30, would like to avoid doing a degree unless I’m unable to find work – my main goal is learning the language and doing a 2+ 2 years vocational seems like the better option then a 2 + 4 years university
Schools in my country are way too expensive so getting a degree here isn’t an option especially when my main focus is learning the language
