Apart from weaboos who like anime and martial arts, why the fuck do you want to go to Japan so much?
If a Harvard grad works as a cashier at McDonald's he's getting the same pay as the other cashiers. What the fuck were you expecting?
The food in Japan is quite good.
>>57362671
Indeed.
>>57362671
this. i'm not a gastronome but typically the second best or sometimes the best place to have any type of food (italia, french, anything) is in tokyo
>>57362670
a harward cashier would bring prestige to the establishment making his labor more valuable
>>57362739
The point is that a Harvard grad shouldn't be working at McDonald's, unless he studied something useless like liberal arts.
>>57362604
What a shit greentext.
Did it ever occur to you that Japan just like any other country has employment pathways heavily biased towards people with connections, something you, as a smelly gaijin, lack considerably?
That goes for the locals too, but as a gaijin you're just shooting yourself in the foot by attempting to play on their turf with a mediocre grasp of their language..
Otherwise
>suck it up and try harder
Or just do what everyone else does and stay in your home country and wait for a good position in Japan to come up, if it's good, take it.

I work at a gaishikei and if I didn't know how low the pay is for grads at Japanese companies nowadays, I would be laughing.
That's what you deserve for being smelly, dumb weeaboo scum

You're right. They can't even get a job at McDonald's.

It'll look good on your resume at least, especially in the eyes of employers in your home country.
>>57362604
Well..If you search our working environment,you must know how terrible it is.
This cunt is good to travel but bad to live in.

I dont tho...

That is probably the problem here. Liberals arts degree offer critical thinking skills that strongly transfer into other areas. I think the problem here is this guys personal problems not his education.
>>57362604
We're all weeaboos though.
>>57362604
Intelligence is shit is you have no charm and charisma. Also you should have had a job ready before you decided to move to anime island.
>>57363480
>>57363373
>>57363349
>>57362670
Are all correct.
>>57363480
Office jobs are shit in every country.
>>57363733
Japan and Korea have exceptionally shit salary man work culture
>>57363529
How are you going to get a job in those other areas with only a liberal arts degree?
>>57363529
>parrot what the professor tells you
>critical thinking
>>57363787
Go to Japan and teach English or work at some emerging IT firm
I can sort of understand obsession with anime and yellow fever... but did you seriously romantize the whole 12 hours work days in business suits aspect? That's depressing
>>57363772
That's mostly because of the over saturation isn't it? I've heard a lot about how the majority of their work days are just them doing nothing because there's so little work to do.
>>57362604
>why the fuck do you want to go to Japan so much?
Buy cheap stuff, gets me out of the house, visit a friend that lives there.
Aside from that the japs and japan are kind of dull and fucked up.

That is why double degrees are so popular. But you could work for NGOs or cultural organisations, etc.
>>57363799
I don't know what shit-tier school you went but summation shouldn't be necessary for academic achievement.
>>57364223
*shouldn't be necessary in the sense that more than that is required, sorry for the poor wording.
>>57364185
Apparently our food is palatable for the Chinese.
>>57364223
In the US, law is treated as postgrad study. They don't do LLB/BA 5 year DDs like in the Commonwealth.
>>57362604
Why is the go-to hair coloring for males and females in Japan that chestnut reddish that the fag with the mask and the qt have?
>>57362604
I really don't understand elites coming from outside into Japan.
>>57363787
People knock liberal arts degrees since they don't directly translate to an obvious employment path. This, coupled with the fact that dumbasses who can barely dress themselves put themselves in liberal arts programs cause "lol math is hard" leads to a statistical lower employment rate among liberal arts grads, and the ubiquitous "unemployed 20-something with a degree" syndrome. The trick to not have this happen to you is: during undergrad major in what interests you, but also minor in something broad and "practical" and do internships. For example, I am a history major with a double minor in business and economics, and my school is close to DC so I've done numerous internships. My school is also in the top 100 schools in the country. Because of this, even though most students here are liberal arts grads, grads maintain 95% employment/grad school participation rate (90% being employment) within one year of graduation. Average starting salary for grads is $55000, with mid-career salaries upwards of $100000. Basically, just be unique, competant, and don't go to a shit-tier school and you'll be fine, and also realize/accept you'll 99% likely to end up working in business at some point.
>>57364802
Most of the people that shit on non STEM degrees are autistic comp sci or engineering majors.
>>57364802
What type of job are you going to bs probably getting?
>>57362604
Sounds like you got it ruff as a gaijin's life can get
partner
on another note, can someone explain why Japanese tend to wear surgical masks so much, sometimes even when visiting other countries?
>>57365125
They know about the chemtrails and whats in them zionist jets leave behind all over the world.
Japanese are wise
>>57365125
They mostly wear them because they're ill or because they don't want to get ill, online people wear them to somewhat protect their identity.
>>57365125
In Japan, it's common courtesy if you are sick to wear a mask so you don't spread it. Makes sense considering population density and use of mass transit. Also, Japanese people on average tend to weak immune systems, so it's not uncommon for Japanese tourists to wear masks when in a foreign place.
>>57365214
Reason why westerners dont wears masks is because they're filthy disease ridden piggus to begin with
>>57363349
Not many people care about academic performance in the west either. Here in the UK no one distinguishes between a 2.1 and first degree unless your doing a masters.
>>57365250
more like proper humans with functioning immune systems
>tfw being a white man your greatest weapon is all the diseases you are carrying that you're immune to
Feels good desu
>>57365349
Yea, right. Because no one ever gets sick around here.
Got a fucking horrible cold a few days ago because I visited my nieces. Little kids, they are deadly.
They could just wear the fucking mask, but nope. Everyone in family has to get sick instead of them using protection.
>>57365564
>German ""master race""
>>57365564
That's the kind of thinking that got the native amerigans extinct
>>57365702
Pretty sure they died because they got sick and not because they protected themselves from sickness.
>>57365557
Europeans conquered the new world with germs in their body.
>>57365702
They died because they didn't have any domesticateable animals.
>>57365564

t. Guns, Germs and Steel reader
>>57365902
Haven't read that, just know that we brought along a fuckton of diseases from animals that we were immune to since we have been living close to domesticated animals for years.
>>57362604
most whites in Japan are basically losers who could not make their own living in their country for various reasons being weeb or uneducated.
Asia is kinda trash bin for white trash.
>>57366025
You're just an idiot then, because we weren't immune to plagues just because we lived with domesticated animals, just a little better at dealing with the ones we had.
Native Americans having more domesticated animals wouldn't have made them not die from our plagues, it would've made us die from their plagues.
>>57364110
Are they having such different work ethics?
>>57366117
The disease with the highest deathtoll was Smallpox though, a disease that you become immune to after surviving.
>>57366383
Being immune to Smallpox doesn't make you immune to the Bubonic plague, Tuberculosis, Influenza, or really anything other than Smallpox.
If Native Americans had their own plagues, they would've been immune to them, but not Smallpox.
>>57366592
Most of the diseases we brought over were the same as smallpox though, get infected and you're immune.
>If Native Americans had their own plagues, they would've been immune to them, but not Smallpox.
If Native Americans had domesticated animals the animal viruses would've mutated to human ones and the humans would've mutated to become immune to them, just like we did.
>>57366929
>get infected and you're immune.
Provided you don't die first, oh wait, that's what happened.
>the animal viruses would've mutated to human ones and the humans would've mutated to become immune to them, just like we did.
You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
>>57366929
>get infected and you're immune
that's what happened, the ones who survived acquired immunity. only unlike in, say, Europe their land ended up being occupied before there was any chance of their population bouncing back
>>57365214
>In Japan, it's common courtesy if you are sick to wear a mask so you don't spread it.
They don't wear it for other people, they wear it for their own health.
>>57366985
Mutated was probably the wrong word to use, through hundreds of years of natural selection we've become somewhat immune/resistant to smallpox though, especially communities with lots of cows and exposure to cowpox.
>>57367295
Also helps that children are a lot more resistant to pox than older people, that helped reduce the deathtoll.
Going to Japan this summer to find a job as a mangaka and video game developer, going to do some anime voice acting on the side too
Wish me luck
>>57362732
Fuck is the one on the bottom? Is it literally slathered with mayo?
>>57367411
That's cheese
>>57367293
And in doing so, protect others. You're so fucking dumb.

I don't think you understand how the hivemind works. Social codex dictates that they also prevent infection of others.
>>57365125
Apart from spreading sickness, I've read that it's commonly used to politely ignore other people.
>>57367490
Looks like both cheese and mayo to me. Wouldn't eat that.
>>57362604
Your fault for being a tard that doesn't do research on what corporate culture is like in the country you want to go work in
