EDIT: Yes I am a current resident. Please stop reporting me 😠I spoke to the mods who verified I'm living here. please stop downvoting me for it specifically (unless for another reason)–If you have any opposing information please tell me!!
Hello, as far as I am aware, it's not possible to get a decent job without a degree, unless you're doing slave visa, you're married, have 8+ year experience, or have a WH visa. After doing lots of research on this subject, that's the conclusion I came to.
I'm not certain if advanced diplomas have every successfully netted anyone a work visa.
But people, even people who've lived here for 10~20 years keep telling me their friends have jobs without needing a degree. One of them is a particular expert in their field and has in the past helped me with a lot of things in Japan as they seemed to know a lot.
I asked them if their friends were just on a WH visa or married, but they didn't seem to know and just let the conversation die. What in the world is going on here? bc that's the third person this time haha
btw by "proper", I just mean "a job that will let you obtain a visa to work here, though I don't think SSW is 'improper', I just don't think SSW is a good long term solution for me".
