Should i go to japan? …………..?

hi there, i have been reading many posts here and still couldnt make up my mind…. so here it is..

i have always wanted to go to study in japan for at least a year, mainly to learn japanese… but my parents on the other hand are suggesting to me that i should study in my home country so that i can gain more ‘network’… We are a very business oriented family and it does make a lot of sense to me, as for now i can not see my self working in japan.. HOWEVER.. my heart has always been set to go to japan…. until now my parents has been able to convience me to graduate master course first…..

i am 22 and have already gratuated from a master degree in london… , if i take a course back home then it will be another 2 yrs MBA so that i get to know more people. (as i have always been abroad i only know a handful of people back home…..

any advice will be welcome!!!

I spent a year studying and living in Spain and I can honestly say it was the coolest thing I have ever done. My parents did not want me to go, but I felt like I needed the experience. It was a year I could have spent networking here in the U.S., but I would not change a thing. You learn a lot about yourself and better ways in which to deal with and understamd people of different cultures. If you have the money to do so (studying abroad can become quite costly because you are not allowed to work while you are there unless you get a work visa) I think you should go for it!

Going out of your way to get educated makes good sense only if you cannot get that education in your country. Just to meet people and get to know more people is not what you want to go for. I am not sure what your home country is, and where do you intend to get settled but one thing for sure you should try to finish your MBA or Masters in your own country where you intend to settle, so that you can get the desired respect and acknowledgement (in terms of Money, Position). Sometimes getting the education out of the country is not liked by Employers. You may hurt yourself by doing so.

Most decent schools hold class in Japanese basically. Some school hold class in English, but most of those are not traditional schools.

You obtained enough degree in the U.K. I think one or two year experience let you more grow.

Check Waseda or Keio Univ. They are famous and traditional, and may have any course which hold class in English.

Cemester starts in April in Japan.
