I am currently a new transfer Junior at Cornell University. I have been thinking of moving to Japan for about a year now. I have taken some intro Japanese courses and am looking at taking the intensive summer course offered here.
I was originally considering getting an education in agriculture as I feel it has potential for domestic growth in the future in Japan. Possibly organic agriculture. I am very skeptical about choosing agriculture for my career field. I was wondering if anyone can offer any opinions about this.
If not what other fields would people recommed I consider if I want to live in Japan. I have strong interests in business. Specifically marketing or advertising, but my skills are kind of American culture specific, I don't know Japanese Culture and would think that is a serious disadvantage in this field.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I highly suggest you shoot out to the Boston Career Forum (wasn't that in October?) to check things out. It's HUGE and will give you an idea of what companies are looking for bi-lingual's and what skills they are seeking.

24yroldjunior wrote:Taro do you have another job? I'm maybe hoping to work for someone/some company in farming or greenhouse work and have my own small farm. Do you know about orchard management or any specific field in agriculture with a demand for young people? Shikoku is famous for rice right? What is your farm/ranch like?
The thing am most worried about when it comes to farming in Japan is how isolating it is. If the people and community are nice, not much else matters.
On the RIce Ranch, the neighbors are nice to me, but after 18 years I'm still considered to be an alien.The thing am most worried about when it comes to farming in Japan is how isolating it is. If the people and community are nice, not much else matters.
The WWOOF program would be the best way to learn what you are up against.24yroldjunior wrote: I can think of taking next semester off to go with the WWOOF program...

I still have class in april. I could if I took Japanese in the spring semester but then I couldn't take Cornell's intensive course over the summer. I guess spending 3 or 4 months in Japan would be an intensive language course too. If knowing very basic Japanese is ok I could go over winter break in January, we have a few weeks off I think. Conversationally I'm not that strong. I can get what people are saying but don't know much about grammar.
I'm also talking to a Professor at Tsukuba University about an exchange program(and scholarship) but because I'm a transfer student and exchange credit counts as transfer credit it wouldn't count for me towards my degree. It might be a better opportunity than the wwooff, not as fun, but I don't have any idea how feasible it is or what level of Japanese language you need.

24yroldjunior wrote:Thanks for the encouragement Charles.
Does anyone have experience with obtaining scholarship money to study overseas?
Would it be possible to work in an eikaiwa part time while studying?

Charles wrote:Eikaiwa is about the only thing you're legally allowed to do on a student visa, and last I checked, there were official limits on how many hours you could work too. I don't think the rules ever stopped anyone from working at other jobs, but proceed at your own peril.
