>>12945660I'm not a student and I do not have any certifications other than a shitty professional high school I flunked 3 years because of over-sleeping. I do know Japanese and English, other than Italian, my native language.
Either way,
1.
Credit Suisse (the research center most banks refer to) publishes databooks about wealth distribution in all world countries and Japan is doing well in their median.
2.
Japan has a very strict law system similar but worse(in my opinion) than the United Kingdom, if you drive a bike and don't mind people and injury someone you go to jail kind of thing.
3.
Everyone, professors included, do not know how to teach Japanese and they are mostly concecerned with you not offending professors, rather than you learning the language. So, any textbook starts with Keigo, who covers less than 10% of the structure of Japanese, at the expense of your understanding of the language.
Typically foreigners start noticing this after having learned 2000 kanji and are into Japanese enough to be able to read books (aka 4 or 5 years of serious everyday study, with a minimum of 2 hours, or 2 years with a minimum of 10 hours), but most fluent people never understand the problems and still have broken Japanese.
4. without language you can't do anything unless you are rich or extremely attractive

5. Egineers are very good, good universities are very expensive relative to Europeans and kind of expensive relative to most Americans.
You can not believe me, I don't care
