God knows, MMM, where we have disagreed over the past year on many things, I think when ever the issue comes up, we have always agreed here!

And due to my grades, I can not get into a university, that's out of the question

If you get into CC and get good grades then you can then transfer into a university.

Yes, it is. I took some summer courses at a community college with a name that was also two Cs. Thus, it was CCCC.

Geology, Alegebra for Non-Technical Majors, and two of my French credits.

I had heard the math and science courses, which counted towards my degree, were easier at the community college than at my university. I took the French credits just because I wanted them out of the way. I could have taken Japanese, but at the time, I was more interested in the bottom line to my GPA than I was where my future might lie beyond graduation. That, of course, changed later, but I can hardly claim I was always an industrious worker in university at all times. No one would believe me even if I did, am I right? :P

BA holders in Japan without work? How do you live in Japan without work? Just out of pure wealth? Maybe I'm just missing something here... and what do you mean by "already have a visa?"

The same way the 8.5% of the unemployed in North America live without work.
