For some context, I'm a guy in my early 20s, a little over 190cm, blond hair, blue eyes. I got scouted for modeling in Japan a few times on my two trips there, but from what I've heard, modeling alone doesn't really make enough to cover expenses (plus the fact that I am a little too tall for some modeling jobs since the cutoff seems to be around 189cm).
I can speak casual Japanese really well, though Kanji and Keigo are still a bit of a problem. Though I bet I could take on N3 with like a month of good prep and N2 with about 6 months of prep.
I wanna take a year off uni on a working holiday visa in Japan, but I want a sustainable income instead of just digging into my savings. Then again, I don't really have any working experience and study medicine, so applying those skills in Japan doesn't seem realistic (given how strict medical fields get treated in this regard).
What other professions could utilize my looks and language knowledge to generate a sustainable income? If possible, I really don't want to work a combini or an uketsuke job.
I know this post might sound weird, but I'm being honest here. I'm looking for an online sales job right now that I could also continue when I go to Japan, but if that doesn't go well, I'd like to have other options too.
I obviously also want to do ads/magazines/whatever too, but that sounds just as unreliable as modeling.
If anything comes to mind, I'd really appreciate it.
