You really need to start working on educating yourself for whatever job you decide to do next.

As for me, I joined a Japanese company and busted my bum for a few years learning as much about my trade as possible. After jumping jobs a few times I can now safely say that I can escape Japan and return home and get a job at any time of my choosing.

....but I'm still here!


You're so full of it! Get a job, any time....so lame!

What's your problem?


Careful nottu. If you offend him, he will not grant you any cultural training....

I know, I know. I can't handle the truth.

No, seriously, maybe I have a weird selection of foreign barbarian friends. But those who are quite fluent in Japanese are equally split between people who studied in colleage, and people who didn't speak a word until they arrived in Japan afterwards.
