Hi! I’m a 17yo Canadian who’s about to graduate high school and I want to hear what others recommend before I start really focusing on a singular route.
Which of these do you guys think is most reasonable and realistic course of action?
-
Do language school in Japan (short-term), try to make connections and preparations for future sponsors (work/school) while I’m in the country
-
Apply for undergraduate programs in Japan (I do have savings for education but there seems to be way less undergrad programs for international students)
-
Pursue an undergrad degree here in Canada then attempt a graduate program in Japan
-
Complete post-secondary education in Canada look for work in Japan
I understand these are super broad but I want to know what I can expect to be more successful. If all of these options suck and there’s a better way please do suggest.
My long term goal is to pursue a career in illustration, fashion or film so that definitely limits universities and jobs unfortunately. I’m pretty decent at listening and speaking but I’m definitely lacking in reading and writing. I have yet to take the JLPT and the soonest I can is in December. I’m aware this process will likely take quite a long time and be expensive and difficult but I’m willing to work hard!
Thank you in advance and wish me luck!
