Hello, i have been investigating abit about moving to Japan as a person thats about to finish a degree in bussiness and economics. It seems that to get a job you need to be fluent in japanese to level the ground abit given the big workforce Japan has, so i thought about working two years and then going to a language school. Before all that i have the opportunity to do a 1 year master in either finance, economics or applied economics, my thought is that a master shows you have higher human capital and so you should be able to find a job more easily than without a master, but i dont know if that holds true or i may get overqualified into entry level jobs. Thanks for any answers!

Personally, the language school is for people who don’t know how to make their own schedule, don’t know where to find the content, and are looking for people to talk to.
If you can provide these things for yourself, then you really won’t have too much of a problem. Some schools are better than others, and the routine of it all does get you hitting the ground faster. But people tend to leave the learning in the school, so even then, it doesn’t go past that.
Personally, start learning Japanese yesterday, and go for the masters if you think its better for you. If not, pass the N2 and then aim for the business japanese test (or just go for the BJT outright) and you’ll be in a much better position imo.
Master is just a qualification. If ur from stem, yes, u need masters to be qualified for QA/QC/R&D jobs. Companies seek foreigners with high experience and great skills where locals could not provide and bring them to the next stage. Most companies will rather seek more experienced/skillful people compared to people with not so much experiences.
