I am a foreigner that has both Canadian and Japanese citizenship. I currently live in Toronto but want to gtfo ASAP. I do not have a degree. The highest education level I graduated from was high school. I know I am limited in terms of what work I can do because I don’t have a degree. I’ve been doing my research and I see that all of the full time english teaching jobs say they require a bachelor’s degree. I know that Japan values degrees more, maybe more so compared to western countries, but I know here in the west, people encourage you to apply to jobs even if you don’t meet their requirements.
Are there any other jobs that will pay a decent salary in Japan other than english teaching that doesn’t require a university or college degree? I’m wanting to get a job in Japan not as an end but as a means to an end. My goal is to do music full time as a performer there and when I first arrive into Japan, I’m not gonna have any music work coming to me so I need some money to come in to support me. Over time, as I meet more people and network, I will eventually get people to start calling me to do gigs and other music work. But not at the beginning. Once I get enough music work to support me, then I will quit the job and dive full time into music.
Thanks
