I applied this year for the MEXT scholarship for undergraduate studies and somehow managed to pass the first screening a few days ago. Since I have to wait until January of next year to get the final results, I'm beginning to have some concerns and doubts about taking this path. If I went to Japan, I would graduate at the age of 28/29, and I've heard this would be considered "too old" to apply for entry-level jobs in Japanese companies, but I don't know how true this is or if this "age thing" counts the same for foreigners as it does for Japanese students.
The degree I want to pursue there is Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.
My English level is between B2 and C1.
For Japanese, I have a JLPT N2 and aim to take the N1 exam this year.
It would be my dream to go to Japan, but I'm not sure if I should take this path, or if I would be ruining my career.
