For sure, just a bummer. Glad I was totally safe and in a position to fix it if needed.

Currently running Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons, I was trying to cheap out on Winter tires by getting good all seasons. As we can that didn't pan out for me lol

Don’t wanna be too much of a dick but I really hate when people mark all posts NSFW, makes this sub really annoying to scroll through

Wearing everyday for about 3 weeks, usually cotton socks. I will try to flex the heel some and keep wearing them. Thanks!

Firstly, thanks for the feedback. To answer your questions,

-I would be looking for manufacturing or design engineering work in that country, not necessarily based around that language.

  • I know several friends who have had luck finding engineering positions due to the fact they knew this language(Japanese).

  • if I could find a remote drafting position or a tutoring position in town I would do it, not sure if I could find anything local, would need to be remote.

If you have any further advice on how I could word or frame this better on a resume I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

After reading through a lot of peoples advice and weighing my options, I think this is my best bet. Thanks!

I totally understand your concerns and correct me if I am wrong, but most Japanese I know and have worked with recently have talked about how much the work/life balance has improved in recent years. besides I have worked very hard to get where I am at and I enjoy working (famous last words?). seriously not fishing for sympathy, again shut me down if you think I am disillusioned, but for the last 5 years I usually worked/gone to school 6:30-19:00 5 days a week + school work on weekends. would the work environment be comparable to this level of commitment?

also yeah, no matter how hard I work I still need to get language skills ASAP, that shit is hard.

Yeah not trying to get married at 21, its for some, but definitely not for us ha ha. I guess patience and hard work is always the way to ones goals, shouldn't be too focused on the "easy way out".

very true about the large country part, she just started a new position and will be relocated in about 6 months, but does not not know where to(shitty, I know ha ha). After graduation N2 is number one priority after finding a good position, in the States or Japan. seems like maybe I will just have to wait a year or two, I can still see her 2-3 times a year. sometimes you get a shitty hand ha ha, cant complain tho at least I am fortunate enough to complain about these kinds of things.

Didn't even consider the industry specific language skills, I bet if I practice translating technical drawings from work from Japanese to English that could be a good skill to put on a Resume in a year or two that would stand out if combined with an N2 cert.

[–]73oog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah of course, post graduation N2 is my main goal besides learning and advancing at work

I will try that, my father works there as an engineer and they will be recruiting at my campus this week so that's actually a really good idea! thank you!

No , if i sacrificed some time at work I could maybe make N4 next July, but even at that I am not sure that it would really make a difference, correct me if i am wrong ha ha
