I want to study & teach in Japan...

Hello,

My name is Sebastian and I am interested in Studying Japan for a semester (or longer. The longer the better). I am currently attending a college called Laboratory Institute of Merchandising. They do not have study abroad programs to Japan. neither do they have Japanese classes.

So my question is, if my college doesn't have study abroad programs to Japan, can I still study at a college in Japan? My Japanese isn't perfect but I can easily go through daily life in Japan. I can read 95% of a Japanese newspaper, and I am confident in my Japanese skills.

I've also considered on being an ESL teacher in Japan.. but, many sites say they require you to be graduated and over 21. I am 19 and I haven't graduated college yet... is there any way I can teach in Japan as well?

I am completely confused about how this work...

I look forward to your response
