Hihi, I'm am a 24 year old girl that has a bachelor in foreign languages and literatures and my japanese level is around N3. I am currently working full time in a pharma company ( I'm in the lowest part of the production pyramid due to the fact that I don't have any background in the field). I was thinking about going to a language school for 6 months to finally achive N2 level and then start working in japan.
The thing is that, unlike all the other post I see I don't have any Buisness or It or Economic degree and I don't know what to do with my bachelor because I think it is pretty useless, at the end I literally just know the language, I don't have any other skill.
I'm really confused, I was thinking about going to the Intercultural institute of Japan (or Akamonkai) in Tokyo for 6 months and then starting to look for a job but is 6 months enough to literally go from N3 to N2 and looking for a job? Do you think I should spend 1 year and achieve the N1 instead?
Or Or another option would be starting a Senmon gakkou after this langauge period but still I don't know if I will be able, linguistically speaking, to support that.
I would like a real job and the thing is that with my bachelor I don't think I can achive anything concrete. This is why I was thinking about a specialization school. But then also another thing that adds up is the fact that I am feeling "old". Like after finishing my period of language school i will be 26, if then I start a semongakkou i will be 29 for the time i finish and then "Am I too old for japanese society?" question comes up.
Does anyone want to share their opinion? Thank you 🙂
