It would help if you informed us of your situation, intentions, and skills that will enable you to move *and* live in a completely different culture thousands of miles away from your present situation and location. Try using the search function, as there is a great wealth of information you may wish to read in order to help you out.

Think about it. There are hundreds of unemployed degree holders with valid visas milling around Japan. Hundreds more without visas milling around, but still with the degree.
You have no degree, no relocation plan, and apparently no patience. Now, think about it, what could you do in Japan that would merit being offered a position that could not be filled by A) a Japanese person B) a Southeast Asian or Brazilian immigrant C) a westerner with experience, degree, visa, or all three? And how can I trust you can even get here? I'm certainly not going to pay your way. Logically, and barring a miracle of "grace of God" proportions, without a college education, you are pretty much out of luck. |

and whats the nextt easiest way? should i get a quick community college degree? |
The absolute cheapest and "painless" method? Get married to a Japanese citizen.
Unfortunately, that falls nowhere even close to the "easy" part of your request. There is no quick and easy way to relocate to another country. Think about the effort that would be required for you to just suddenly move to a completely different city far from family/friend support in your OWN country. Not so easy, is it? Up that by at least 10 for moving to Japan. It`s like saying "Hey, I want to be a pro athlete! Anybody know how I can be one by next month?" when you haven`t exercised in years and don`t know how to play any sports. |
How did I do it?
Well, in high school, I had an interest in Japanese. That set Japan up as an eventual goal. Then I attended college and was part of the Naval Reserve- I initially thought that becoming an officer would get me assigned to 7th fleet. For various reasons I regret now, I left the Navy, I finished my degree, and then I worked in politics. I pretty much gave up on Japan. Then due to the economic downturn, I ended up losing my job in politics. In order to pay my bills I took a job teaching English in Korea. I hated it. I spent a few months looking for a job in Japan, I had experience and a degree, and I was nearby (relocation only cost me about $180) all I needed was someone willing to sponsor me for a visa. I had, in fact, been offered three positions and got to choose which one I liked best. And so here I am. And you know how much time it took between "I want to live in Japan" and "I live in Japan"? Around a decade. |
How/why would a Japanese company just "willingly sponsor" you from Korea, without knowing Japanese?
Strange. |
