Sacrifice IT Work for Student Visa on Japan?

Hi everyone, I’m 25 living on Philippines with 2 years of IT experience and some entry-level certifications. I’m being offered a student visa in Japan (language school), fully supported by my parents.

Plan is:

  • Study Japanese in Japan
  • Work part-time (up to 28 hrs/week)
  • Aim for N3/N2 (still only know a bit of Japanese because of anime)
  • Then try to apply for IT jobs in Japan

Given the situation in my home country (low salaries and limited opportunities), do you think this is a good opportunity or too risky?

Would appreciate honest thoughts.
