Hello everyone,
I am currently a freshman in Community College wanting to get a degree in MIS. I live in the Bay Area near Silicon Valley and while I enjoy Computer Science a bit, I definitely enjoy Business as well. This led to me finding MIS and pursuing it.
Coming out of High School, me and my dad took a trip to Japan and I was completely enamored by Tokyo. Truly I had never seen a city as energetic and lively as Tokyo, and to this day it lingers in my mind how much I would be willing to sacrifice to live there.
The problem is, I don't live there. And I will need to sacrifice to be able to move. I'm here to ask, how plausible would it be for someone in my position to move there?
Some things of note: I know very minimal Japanese, but am beginning to learn and would want to continue learning throughout the 4 years before I graduate to hopefully be as proficient as possible. This isn't my second language, I know both English and Spanish, so I am hoping I will better transition into learning a new language as it won't be my first time learning. I also have a friend living in Tokyo whom I used to go to school with before he moved back.
If I find the right internships, learn as much Japanese as I can, and get my degree, would it be possible? If so, what would be the best plan? I really am willing to work as much as I need, I am currently working part-time to get money for this plan as well. I just want a guiding hand from anyone that may be more knowledgeable than me 🙂
