As you may have read in my past posts, I'm looking into gaining another WHV. But, with that option draining away fast, I'm also looking at other options, one being studying in Japan. I would love to be fluent or at least JLPT 2 or 1 fluent in Japanese. In London I dont get much opportunity to speak Japanese but wonder what kind of job I might be able to get if I did speak a decent level of Japanese.
I am a Graphic Designer at the moment, and although I enjoy it, its something that my heart isnt in anymore. Call it a midlife crisis, I'm looking for another career path! If I was to do a degree in Japanese in London as a major and something else as a minor - could I get a job in Japan/UK with it? What kind of jobs are available? Also, for a working visa, you need a degree right? So if I did do this degree, would I still need a company to sponsor me? I guess so. So that means I need to find a job in Japan in London??! Isnt that a bit impossible?
Another option is studying in Japan, but again, the same questions arise. (It wouldnt be a degree, just a normal language school in Japan.)
I know that I want to do something different with my life, and if that something envolved Japan it would be perfect, it just I dont know what I could do. I'm not into business or politics. (which cuts out a large section i guess...)
Any advice on a Degree in Japanese?
