Career Change
You are currently reading a thread in /adv/ - Advice
I'm 24, I have a degree in Japanese language study and linguistics and want to move into marketing but don't know how.
I live in Japan, fairly fluent at the language (business level) but without experience/education I'd never be able to move into marketing right?
How do you do a complete career change into something you have no experience in but ultimately want to end up in?

Why not talk to a career counselor for a marketing program in-town?
I'm not saying that you need to go to college/uni again. I'm saying that you could talk to a career counselor in the field and tell them that you're thinking about the field and where do you start locally.
Good luck.

It is a myth perpetrated by business schools that you have to major in X to get a job in X.
Apply for marketing jobs. Your language skill plus your personality (assuming you have one) will outweigh any absence of book learning.
