I've always wanted to move somewhere my family has never been to. I have some family in Paris, Spain, and the USA. The majority (if not 99%) of my family are from Central America (myself included.)
Apparently the Yen is weaker than my native coin, and I've been telling my mom about my wish of moving to the country, but the moment I bring up the currency, housing, jobs, and so on, she tells me its a bad idea, and it makes me feel very scared.
I'm currently striving for a career in the beauty industry, I'm fetching a cosmetology license but from what I've read that's not a job Japan really needs people for. Most of the time I see that they give visas to those who work in enterprising and education. Apparently my only option would be getting a spouse, but I don't really want to do that because I feel like I would be selling myself and disrespecting the other person.
I want to achieve citizenship, but I know I feel like it will be extremely hard to even get close to any of the requirements. I'm barely starting to study Japanese, and I'm not out of school yet to look for a full time job to pay for classes.
I would like to know if there is anything I'm not looking at, since most of the people in this community are currently living in Japan and have experiences, I want to know if there is at least one little bit of hope that I might be able to achieve this dream/wish.
