I know, my degree and experience doesn't lend itself to much outside my country. I knock myself over the head for it every day. I'm unfortunately almost 25 and can't exactly start my education over from scratch.
I do want to start over, though, in Japan. Preferably something other than an English teaching job. Something like consultancy? Or anything, really. I'm not after luxury, just a quiet, comfortable life.
I speak 4 languages fluently, including Japanese (N2 working my way up to N1), and currently learning Spanish. I passed the Bar in Canada. I worked in regulatory compliance in an international company (no offices in Japan sadly) and at my province's Ministry of Environment. My college GPA was not great, not the worst. I pass as white. I am very luckily an only child from a middle-class family, set to inherit a home in Canada and one in Turkey in the next 20 years, and while I don't have a fortune to drop on this, finances aren't a big issue.
I realize I already am very privileged, but I need to get out of here, and in the current state of affairs neither Europe, nor the US, nor my home country will do. Besides, it's been my dream since I was a kid to move to Japan someday. Is there any hope for me achieving it in any permanent capacity?
