LIFE IN JAPAN....

[Aoiblue]

hi everyone of HJU,
im not really a person everyone knows here, but this is the only place i know where i can actually feel free to say my mind.
im a 15 year old guy and its odd for an emotional situation to come up cause im going through a place in my life where i have an oppurtunity to decide what to do about my future. And i dont know what to do... i have a hard time sleeping, i feel crappy whenever i do wake up, sometimes i think i should just give up.
but a glimmer of hope came, i found out that a couple of my dads friends are being hired to go to japan and get into this "conversational english" and you get paid to talk in english with other japanese people.
I got so excited about this because i once live in japan for 6 years, and i actually never came to terms leaving.
so i asked my dad how i can do this job, and told me to graduate high school and get a 2-4 year degree in college. if you get hired they pay for your housing! but my dad sayed that was only a slim chance of that happening
and told me that it should be a SIDE plan, now im back to square one.
what should i do? can you guys help me? should i go to my dream of going to japan, or just stay here in the states and get a job here.(by the way im gonna be a junior and so far my grades arent that good)
For those who have read this, I thank you.

wow!:O_O: dude! Who's taking care of you besides your dad? Take my advice kid, school always comes first. Japan can wait man! School always comes first dude, finish your education. If your grades are bad now, forget about work, and take care of yourself first before getting yourself into more serious stuff. Unless your feeding a mouth other than yourself, work can come later...

Indeed, barashin is right. It's not like Japan isnt there anymore in a couple of years.

In Japan, its customary to scream 「犯します!」　and then proceed to 「女を犯します」.

On a serious note, you need a B.A. to be sponsored for a Visa to teach in Japan. No if ands or buts about it.

I would go for it!:thumbs: If you don"t like it then you can always go back.

I actually like living here in Japan. My place might be a little "inaka" (rural) but I am living a much healthier life compared back in the States. I get around the city by bicycle and/or train which means I do not have to suffer from high gas prices, insurance, and car maintenance. Plus I lost about 6 kgs (about 11 pounds) since leaving the United States. And by the way, I am also covered with health insurance and pension as well.:buttrock:

Work can be very hectic sometimes but it is actually fun:buttrock: I love teaching kids especially because I can just play with them while learning English.

You might want to ask Igadevil as well. He lives in Honshu (forgot which prefecture) but I live here in Kyushu (southern island of Japan right above Okinawa)

^yea i want to try to get a job in honshu, i forgot which prefect but i know i want to ive near a military place called Yokosuka, or any where.

i also want to try getting into toku,
my dad used to be extra on tv shows and i remember i used to go with him and even being on the actual show.

theres alot of things i want to do there, but i have to wait

all i have to say about this .... is research whatever company u work for.. some of them are really bad... like nova XDD... but they're gone now so u don't have to worry about that

but i'd say either finish up your degree or start going to school there.. it's useless to have a half-finished degree no matter what you do in life
