Hello, I am currently 26 years old university dropout (81 credits earned in Computer Science). For the last 6 months I've been studying Japanese (currently N5 equivalent) and if everything goes well, I hope to begin my Japan life starting with a language school (1 or 2 years) after that I plan to transfer to a vocational school for 2 more years.
For some time, I've been investigating diplomas, especially IT Management (business IT) and Auto Maintenance (2nd class auto mechanic license). Should I go for the IT Management course and look for less programming heavy job positions? Is it viable that I would get such jobs (ie.IT Admin)? Considering that my performance in university was pathetic (only half credits earned in 4+ years), and I don't have work experience/projects to show off. An IT Management course (MEXT approved) I found has less tuition and class time compared to the Auto maintenance one, giving me a better quality of life. How much value does a diploma in IT Management has for me (late start in career, age 29 when finally entering workforce)? Should I grind for two years to get the auto maintenance diploma?
Please, share your insight/experience, any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
