Do you have any idea what you're going to do for your career?

I'm 20 yeard old (fuck I'm getting old), a few months away from graduating from business school (corportae finance), and has a part-time job working for the HR dept of the federal govt (with an option to be hired as a regular employee after gradeuation). Now, I've always wanted to move to Japan (I've been there a few times, from baby photos at Tokyo Disneyland to most recently 2 months ago for the winter holidays).

Should I (1) abandon my secure (you can never be fired unless under some rediculious circumstance, lol unions) steady, and if boring job and move to Japan for a few years? or do I (2) get hied as a resular employee and be an asshole to the office and take leave without pay right after so i can spend a shorter amount of time in Japan?

In any event, I am a guy, Asian (born in Taiwan, grew up here), 5"7, and 150lbs. Please advise.

I need to think up a major. Right now I'm going for business management, but that's only because people told me to do it and I have no free will of my own. They said I could use it for practically anything.

Another Taiwanese/American anon, huh. Honestly, just do whatever you want. Even if you move to Japan for a few years and find out that you don't like it, it's not like the entire experience will be a waste. Better by far to explore all the available opportunities first, and then decide.

By the way, I'm learning Japanese as well; I don't have any relatives living in Japan though.

It's a shame, growing up in southeast Ohio, watching all of the factories close down. So depressing watching it destroy everything I used to love and everyone losing their jobs.

I hate chinks, FOBs, bleeding-heart liberals (thanks college "activists"), and sand-niggers.

I like import-model looking Asian girls, "Shibuya-style" gyaru (as 109 puts it), and enjoy dressing like gyaruo (plus, that shit is cheaper then name brands here).

I enjoy travelling (especially on trains lol /n/), photography, beaches, and tanning.

As with most countries you might need a working visa to work in Japan. I am an overseas student in Japan, and basically the visa office wants to see an authorization from the school or workplace you are in to grant you a visa.

I'm sure you knew that already, now you just need to find a workplace to give you the authorization paper.

what you can expect during your stay if you are a guy like me: convinience stores next door, everything can be ordered on the internet without a credit card, anything can be accessed by train, no more fear of getting killed when walking alone at night.
