Could I make a living in Japan with this type of job?
Were going to pretend here. I’m currently 16 almost 17 but I want to start planning my future now since im almost out of high school. SO just go along with this ok
thanks.
Ok so lets say I was to become a cosmetologist (nails, skin, hair and make up) and after about four or five years of working visa and stuff would I be able to try to get a job in Japan to make a living their? Maybe in like Tokyo or Osaka?
If I could get a job in Japan with that profession how much would I be able to make? Can you convert that into Canadian dollars for me? Would I be able to rent an apartment or a house?
(Lets also pretend I knew how to speak Japanese and Spanish)
Would I need to know how to read Japanese and write in Japanese?
xD I’m not a guy im a girl xD

While i Know this isn’t best answer material, i know for sure your going to need a working command of the Japanese dialect , and i suggest you get your associates degree before going overseas , (that should make things alot easier in the long run.) after that i suggest you find a college overseas that offers a degree in cosmetology (that may not mean anything if your excellent in cutting hair … but better safe than sorry right?)
EDIT* thanks carl.
I know there is someone out there who can make a much better answer than i can, Quit hiding!
To work in Japan you either need a four year degree or 10 years experience in that job field. This is what the Japanese government requires.Check out the web site below,it will tell you visa requirements.
Yes,not only would you need to be able to speak Japanese at a native level,you would also need to read and write at a native level. It’s Japan ! Everything is written in Japanese ! You can’t do anything without being able to read labels, ect…
Another problem with this is you not being Japanese.I’m not sure many Japanese women would go to a non-Asian for these services.
Not sure how much you’d be able to make,but I’m sure it would be less than in Canada.You might make enough to rent a studio.
Another issue is a work visa.You need a job offer before you get there to get one.A salon isn’t going
to look for anyone outside of the country for that kind of job.
All is not lost.You could study cosmetology in college there(in Canada).After you get your degree,you can try to get a job in Japan teaching English.Once there you could visit salons to see how they are.If you didn’t like Japan, you still have your degree to fall back on.
Usually I tell students who want to work in Japan without a degree, don’t bother, but your case might be different. My salon has branches around Tokyo and also one in New York City. What if you obtained your license, studied Japanese, and then got a job at a Japanese salon in Canada or America. If you are a dynamic employee, they might transfer you to a Japanese branch. Just be aware that here in Japan the new employees work crazy hours and until late at night. Look for Japanese salons in New York, L.A. and possibly in cities in Canada with large Asian populations.
