Not sure what to do from here

I'll try to lay out everything as much as possible.

I'm Asian-American and graduated from a college in the States with a BA in Biology.

This was back in Dec 2023 and I was very set to applying to medical school until I realized I was so burnt out and I could not see a future for myself in medicine long-term.

I was in Korea for most of 2024 to spend time with family and blowing steam off then came back to the States in 2025 to save up some money because I wanted to do a working holiday in Japan and recently moved here in March 2025 with a WHV.

I attended the Tokyo Career Forum and I realized how god awful I am at Japanese but I really like living here but I'm not sure how I should proceed.

I also don't have any JLPT certifications but I'm working on N3/N2 but the end of this year.

  1. I think I want to break into tech but I truly don't have any experience related to tech because of my major.

  2. Go back to the states to get a masters degree to regain shinsotsu status while working on my Japanese?

  3. Enroll in a master's program here in Japan and try to get a job here?
