I'm an Australian and I want to move to Japan, would I need a degree or have to be a certain age?

Question:

I'm currently 17 years old and my friend and I both really want to move to Japan. I've noticed a lot of people saying that moving to Japan is a bad idea but it is something we would like to do. Therefore I was hoping I could get some information from other Australians or foreigners that have moved to Japan. Specifically if I would need a degree in order to get a job, if I have to be 20 (someone said I would) and also just how difficult it was. Thank you. :)

Answer:

Homer pretty much summed it up for you. You have to have a college degree and some sort of skill that is needed, a skill that a Japanese person can't do. Like it or not, the Japanese applicant will get the job before you do.

So, how difficult? Very. Impossibly so for you in your current situation.
