Is there a job for a 17 year old in medicine?

How can a 17 year old american get a job in japan?

  • how can i get a job in japan because i am only 17 year old. it do not matter what kind of job. if it is not a teaching job then it do not matter to me thank you thank you

  • Answer:

    Sorry, don't want to sound mean, but your chances are less than zero. To get a job in Japan you have to have a work visa. To have a work visa you must have a job waiting for you. Have you even finished high school ? You need at least a BA / BS degree to teach English in Japan. Unemployment is going up there. Many young people are looking for work. You can't even work at a McDonalds unless you can speak, read and write Japanese as well as a Japanese. It's winter time there, and not a good time to be walking the streets. About the only way you can get there would to join the US Navy. And I would'nt suggest doing that myself. Sorry, but it's not as easy a some people seem to think it is. Look at the website below. It tells you about jobs in Japan.

You'll end up begging money to go back home. Stay home, boy.

"A university degree or several years of working experience in the applicable professional field are required to apply for a working visa. Most types of working visas also require you to have a prospective employer as your sponsor" (source : http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2221.html) Without a degree, English schools will never take you seriously. Think about it: Would you want your child to be taught Japanese by some former cab driver in Tokyo? So unless you want to suffer, receive a rock bottom low wage, and be discriminated against, you need a 4-year college degree to get by in Japan. Don't take my word for it! Visit your local Japanese consulate in person, and ask them.

If you are fluent in Japanese, then you could probably get a job teaching others English. Also, if you're not familar with their etiquette, you need to learn about it before you go. There are certain ways to act and behave. Good luck.

You can be a translator. I did that for this chinese girl who was new in school.

Go to the American Clubs. You can either find work there or through them.

Don't get a job. There's lots of street racing in Japan...earn money from that. Think Tokyo Drift...lol

Entertainment/advertising industry. Or, just stick with teaching English. Many parents want their children to take English courses - AS WELL AS - home-tutoring (big bucks/yen).

If you are going to be a teacher please don't become an English teacher for Gods sake.
