thanks for the reply and yes my wife is a Japanese National.

Thanks for the advice and what to steer clear of in the job market. I did however make an error when posting and forgot to mention the all important lack of a BA Degree.

I assume, from what i've heard, this will extremely limited by employment opportunities. What are your views on this?

On the other side of things I understand the finance/administration work is a rather niche market and aimed towards those with university degrees and good connections, however, I am never one to shy away from work and have even resorted to building work and door work when previous made redundant, even if it was only for a short while.

Will this give a go attitude take me anywhere in Japan?

Your comments are appreciated.
