Hello, this is going to be a little long, so thank you for taking your time to view this post. I just finished my bachelor degree in High School here in Spain. I started learning Japanese a month ago and currently I'm able to read full hiragana, katana, and around 25% of common use Kanji, if not 35%. Apart from that, I'm also able to read kids books, watch the news, listen to music and other kind of content like YouTube Videos and understand around 50%. As I've dedicated a lot of time this month to the study of the language, I think I've reach a point in which learning Kanji has become relatively easy and kind of a "mundane" thing, and I got so used to the language than sometimes I forget that I'm listening or even reading in Japanese. I wanted to continue my studies not at the university but at a High Education Program to become a skilled field technician in forestry and nature's management. The idea of living in Japan has been bugging me for a while now, I feel somehow connected to the country's love for nature and culture, and I started studying everything about Japan, from History to cultural points. It really puts one into the wall of demotivation when you read just how difficult is to live there regulation-speaking, not to mention how it really seems impossible to one to get the residency (Or permanent visa). Speaking about me, If I get the opportunity, I wouldn't leave Japan, I would stay there as my new country; I would adapt to the language, to the culture, to the mindset... and I would start my household there without thinking about coming back. But this regulations seems to have been made with the mindset that every foreigner will not 'behave', and like if we were burden, however, sadly I know that's the case for a lot of people. Speaking about my skills, I got a B2 English Level-Degree certificate, however, I would say my level is now around Native C1. I also have a good hand managing trees, bonsais and gardens. My next objective is to reach at least JLPT n3 if not n2 level before 2021 (I must say, I'm a person who has a lot of time and I invest it learning and improving myself, I'm not just doing nothing, so I think It is a pretty realistic goal). That, added to the forestry field technician degree (Which is not an University Career, though, I can directly access University to study it's equivalent career, however that's +4 years and I'm not willing to spend much time here in my Country). Would it all be enough to get hired by a Japanese enterprise/business? My current plan is, after finishing all the stated, stay on the country on a holiday visa for one year, and be on the look out for job opportunities so after my visa status is finished, return to the country this time with a proper visa, work, and then apply for the permanent residency. Is there a more proper/easier way? It is even realistic my ambition? Thank you again for taking your time to read all this burden of a post. Have a nice day!
