Most of my friends are college graduates, but I have one friend I went to college with who ultimately didn't graduate. He has been unemployed for over a year, despite applying to literally hundreds of job openings.

Having that degree definitely makes a difference, whether you want to go to Japan or not.
My mother received a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice at Mt. Olive College which is a private community college.

I don't understand why everyone has said you can not receive a Bachelor's Degree at a CC, when my own mother did it.

Nowhere I can find on the Mt. Olive College website does it say it is a "community college".

Mount Olive College
Well I must have been mistaken. Talking about college is like a foreign language to me.

So all in all, Mount Olive College would be acceptable in Japan's eyes, MMM?

Agreed if you're talking about America.

But I don't think Japan will hire me for any of the positions that you've just said, with or without a degree in Criminal Justice.

Yes, if you got a B.A. or a B.S. degree. Associate degrees would not count.

Also...


MMM, where did you attend college? I'm assuming Mt. Olive woule suffice for means of obtaining a Bachelor's Degree, but they offer no classes that I am remotely interested in...whatsoever.
