@victorcoldblade I don't know if I'd move to another country for a car, but the Skyline is badass. I'll give you that much.

I am 16 and I am planning on getting a computer science degree and eventually move to japan to get a job in robotics. I love anime and the japanese culture and hear that Japan is a great place to go for robotics. Does anyone know or have any suggestions as to what I would need to do to get a good job in Japan in robotics as a foreigner?

[javis74]

@falluhatersgofurself Good for you. I've also heard that robotics is pretty big in Japan. You might have some interesting opportunities.

The best things you can do are to learn Japanese and prepare to enter a quality engineering school. A four year degree will be necessary to get a work visa, and a top-level school will be able to assist with exchange or intern opportunities with Japanese schools and companies.

I know what you are getting mate.

I dont think you need a big motivation though....

I just really want to experience being a foreigner and adapt to a completely different culture.

Im thinking 6 months jap then china and see if I like it

ps, i have no interest in animee - im guessing its not that big a deal over there

@TheAndyFossett Agree 100%

@DIJV79 Well, Sasebo is a US military dump. I don't think you would miss it much. Personally, I think much of SoCal is also a dump. Good thing there are other places to live.

[DIJV79]

Lol! I was stationed in Japan for 4 yrs in Sasebo, Japan int the U.S Navy don't miss that place one bit. I was glad to be home in So.Cal.

your words really got to me and thank you for it :)

@punkgrl325 I think the xenophobia is overemphasized. Many Japanese are simply socially awkward, even amongst themselves.

If you want to learn the language, living there is definitely the best bet. I recommend living out in the country somewhere if you can swing it. I had a tough time at first, but after a few years, really came to love it.

@burnstagger If you have your own business and hope to secure a visa in Japan, be prepared to show proof of income above twice the poverty line for a period of twelve months. You'll also have to show contracts which indicate that your income will continue for the duration of your Japanese visa. I've heard that they're pretty strict on this.

[TheAndyFossett]

@oldlyswansea Chances of a "night life" job offering you a visa to reside long-term in Japan are extremely slim.

Of course, you could travel there on a tourist visa and potentially get an illegal job in that industry.

@anthonyboii1211 Japan has doctors. In fact, I have quite a few friends in Japan who are doctors. I'm pretty sure most countries in Asia have doctors.

One thing Japan is short of right now is nurses though. They tried bringing the in from the Philippines and Singapore, but they still had trouble learning the language well enough to communicate with patients and doctors.

this is great advise, sir. I've been quite a few places in the world and it pains me to see people build a dream in a shallow pool, so to speak. As with any big decision in life, some preparation and concrete purpose are essential. "Why?" is the first question you should ask yourself when it comes to any decision you make in your life. If the answer is 'just because', good luck. It'll take a lot more than that in order to survive and truly accomplish the goal you've got in mind.
