Good morning all!
I’m looking at going back to college and have a tough choice to make. I want to move to Japan in 5-7 years. This goal would change obviously depending on how long it would take me to get a degree.
I already have an associates in Business/Marketing so going for a bachelor’s in that field would be quicker. This would give me time to get into the field and get a couple years of experience while I continue to learn Japanese so I have a better chance of landing a job.
Or I could start from scratch and pivot to Computer Science. It would take me longer to get a bachelor’s but would likely get me a job more quickly.
I know Computer Science is more lucrative. But I really enjoy marketing.
Are Marketing positions readily available to foreigners? Is this considered a decent job?
If I go into Computer Science, what field(s) should I focus on?
I hear that ALT doesn’t pay well so I don’t want to go into that.
Any suggestions or info will be greatly appreciated.
Please note that details of *why* I plan on moving or anything to do with housing or other peripherals are not necessarily important to this question. I’m only looking for advice on this specific step at the moment. Thanks again for any help
