This is a very rough draft of a rough draft, I did a couple hours of research and made a small simple plan to wrap my head around what I should do, so if something seems wrong point it out please
Possible plans:
Plan 1:
I am going with plan 1. Plan 2 is unrealistic even though I want to. probably.
GED
4 year degree in a US school. Make sure they have Japanese language classes to take too(maybe i can study abroad in Japan for a semester or two?)
-I would save up a lot more money and also make more from GI bill. free school. and I might be getting social security money soon, not sure if I can even receive that if I go to japan instead.
Study visa -> Language school in Japan for 1 or 2 years if not fluent enough.
Return to the US and work on getting a Japan work visa with my 4 year degree
Alternatively could go for a masters in Japanese university, after getting a bachelors in the US. I heard this may be good to do.
Estimated total time: Around 6 years in total depending on my time in Japanese language school to reach the point to work towards a work visa with a bachelors degree under my belt
Degree ideas: CS degree with a focus on software engineering
Engineering/IT/data science/Cybersecurity
minor or major in Japanese at same time while going to US school
(I was already planning on going for computers science and then I heard japan likes that degree so hell yeah)
Plan 2:
GED
Save up 20k to 40k (plan 1 skips this step because I will save while going for my degree in plan 1)
attend language school in Japan for 1-2 years
return home to US and work on getting into a Japan school
Work on Japan bachelor degree for 4 years
return home to US and get a Japan work visa
Estimated total time: around 8 years in total depending on my time in japanese language school to reach the point to work towards a work visa with a degree under my belt.
