Plans of moving to Japan after college

I apologize if this is not the right subreddit to ask about this.

I'm in my third year of high school and I've been thinking of pursuing Economy and International Business in college.

The thing is I've always wanted to move to Japan, but being an ALT here always seemed to be unsatisfying to me despite it being a safer option (even only for acquiring a visa I dunno if it's possible since I'm not a native English speaker and have a bit of a Balkan accent).

Currently I have been studying Japanese for 2-3 months and it's been going well. I think I should be approaching N5?

Now, assuming that until I finish college I'll be around N3-N2 proficiency level (4 years if I include my last year of high school — in college I'll be paying for tutoring as well besides self studying) will I be able to find a job relating to my degree? Will they accept fresh graduates? What are some sites I should look over? Should I move only after I know I have a job position there secured?

Should I work for two years in Romania to gain experience then move to Japan?

I don't really care about the money as long as I can get enough to pay for rent, utilities and for some of my hobbies and guilty pleasures as well. And I don't necessarily want to work in Tokyo, anywhere works.

If you have any similar experiences I would be grateful if you could share! Thank you in advance !
