Hi guys. Im not Sure if General is the right differentiation for it but I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now.
(This is also my first time i posted something:)
I'm 24 (M)
And I wish to work in Japan.
My background:
I'm a trained hotel specialist, which means I specialize in work in the entire hotel sector
(waiter, banquetservice, front desk, etc.)
with a certificate and everything.
And at the moment I'm getting my
high school / vacational diploma
so I can study tourism/hotel management or event planning next year… however
My original plan was to save money until I'm 25 and then apply for a work and travel/holiday visa for a year
(without a bachelor's degree).
During that time I would look for permanent employment so that I could fly back to Germany after that and then come back and work there with a work visa.
However, I've realized that you can't get a work visa without a bachelor's degree.
Thats why i decited to start… my current route
But now i heard from stories of people for whom their three years of training was enough
(Apperently) and after a little struggle with the japanese Immigration and help from there (also hotel) employer they got there visa.
My question now is whether I can perhaps fulfill my dream more quickly if I don't go to university or if they where just incredibly lucky or perhaps i misunderstood something wrong. And if I really have no chance of realizing this dream withouth a bachelor's degree at the moment or whether there are any detours that i can use with my current training.
(Little bonusquestion), if i study, i would be 28/29 when i get my bachelor's degree.
Would this be to late or super rare to do a one year working holiday at that age?
Wouldnt this be looked down uppon?
Japan is my dream and it would be a real shame if I had to give it up.
Thank's in advance for the answers : )
