Hey, i have a family of 5 here in the states. My kids are 2, 4, and 8. I am looking at moving to japan for several reasons, but mostly safety for my kids and a good uprising in another country.
I love the idea of japan, maybe its all been romanticized for me, but i love the culture and qualities of it all.
My wife (29) is an RN with her preference in L&D. I (30) have a bachellors in environmental science and have experience in NEPA and regulation. I am also military, but would obviously be out if i moved.
Biggest question we had even over education, was how would we even work? I see everyone is either an engineer or in IT. Or even remote. Would it be possible to work on a military base as a nurse and as environmental management?
Also, i have a dream of opening a cafe or restaraunt in japan. But idk how that would even be possible. We visited Korea on a honeymoon and we visited so many cafes and i loved every one of them.
Outside of camp humphreys in korea, there was a canadian restaurant where old vets and bikers hung out. I feel like an english business would work out well outside of a base if anything.
I freaking love the US, but politically, either side, i am starting to resent it. It is very unfortunate, but i also enjoyed how i could walk everywhere i needed to be when i was in korea.
Please let me know if i didnt ask a specific question i should be asking. I really want to exhaust all my options before i let this fade out.
Thank you in advance, i am really looking forward to some replies.
