Hello everybody, I know that this question has been written trillions of times but I still feel the urge to share my situation in order to receive a useful feedback.
I worked as an actor, writer, stage director, event and casting organiser and I also pursue my activity with a theatre company of my own (during these times I also worked as a waiter, web promoter, salesman and children entertainer), but I was forced to stop my artistic career and reinvent my life due to persistents health and family issues and the strong necessity to embark on a new path. After a harsh period of confusion and depression I finally found my way studying japanese. I started to study the language by my own completing all hiragana and katakana and I also studied more than 1100 kanji, an encouraging start that made me think to start a relative degree. (I never pursue university due to a mix of bad high school experiences and disinterestedness) After completing my undergraduate degree I'd like to continue my studies with a master in UK (I saw some interesting courses in japanese studies and east asian relations in Edinburgh and Warwick, just to say a couple) or in Japan. I'm aware that I should be open minded and I should't force myself to the idea to live in a specific place, but let's go back to the title: if I follow my described plans I'll complete my studies at 31/32 (I'll be 27 in september) and I want to know if, besides teaching my mother language, I could still have chances to work in Japan, even for interships and entry level positions. I specify that I'm italian (and sadly there's no working holiday visa reserved for my country...) with multilingual skill (I also speak french and I must study in my degree for a minimum of one year another asian language, and I think I'll choose korean) and I'm currently working as an instant messaging operator. (but I'm also consider the idea to juxtapose some freelance translations)
Thank You in Advance, I hope to receive some realistic but encouraging answers.
