There is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn more than six times as much as the bottom 20%.In 2014, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare conducted a survey about workers' salaries. According to it, the most paid occupation is an airline pilot, and their average annual salary is 17,121,000 yen ($143,000 €134,000). The following shows the list of average salaries by occupation in Japan. The figures include tax, so take-home money is less than them. Please see the second table for Dollar/Euro currency version.

Need Advice/Help with going to Nihon Kogakuin College in Japan.?

Hello. Here's my plan. I'm going to school in School of Visual Arts (NY) for animation, but after I graduate, I really want to study in Japan for animation/illustration. I really enjoy the asian style of art (not anime/manga exactly) but I wouldn't mind learning that. After looking through some colleges Nihon Kogakuin seems to be my best bet.

I believe they're art program is for 2 years? I was wondering if anyone knows the tuition cost and dorming cost. Also how much I would need to be stable for 2 years(?). Also, I heard something about how students can't do part time jobs? (I don't know, I need clarification on how a college student could make a little bit of money while in school).

Also, I was reading online, on how I would a student visa to apply for colleges in Japan.

Language wise, I'm studying Japanese right now, but I plan on taking a study abroad trip to japan to take intensive language classes.
I apparently just need to pass the Japanese proficiently test lvl 2.

Just wondering, for the future, if I did succeed in going to school in japan, what are the chances of me being able to live there (apartment, job). What are the chances for foreigners who graduate from Nihon Kogakuin College to get a job?

Any advice on
-a Study abroad program (intensive for a year) is appreciated. (I'm currently looking at KCP or WLE).
-Nihon Kogakuin College
-or anything in general
is much appreciated. Thank you very much.

P.S. My family just told me that after this year, I will have to pay for SVA on my own for the next 3 years, which will be hard, but if I pay through student loans, and go to Japan for another year, does anyone know if the student loans could be held off for another couple years? Also if American financial Aid is available for Japanese Schools.

thank you.

Is it important to speak Japanese for studying at Tokyo University?

Well, to be honest, if you are going to study for a degree, for example “bachelors degree” , there are courses which have full japanese (i think the textbooks are japanese too) , and courses which are provided in english also (texbooks in english) , so if you are going to select the english based courses, of-course the studies won’t be a problem, but still you have to be here in Japan, not everyone will be able to help you all the time, so you should be able to speak just little to get by on the shops and local market ,though it’s not absolutely necessary to speak japanese, because in market and konbini and malls, you can do shopping without speaking the language, but in case you have to change the things. or ask for any product (for eg, cloth/shoe size) you should be able to speak some japanese, here people do not speak english very much.And also if you are planning to have a part-time job, then i’d suggest you should learn a bit of japanese, because non-japanese speakers have a tough time getting a part time job here, and they’re mostly very hard, if you can speak a bit of the language, or at-least communicate here with the people in japanese, your life will be a lot easier.and if you are going to do master’s degree, and getting a scholarship, it’s okay even if you don’t understand japanese.now to make it very short and to the point.The University do make the students study japanese language in the beginning, so yes, whatever course of study you choose, you still have to learn a bit of japanese.My opinion is “YES, it’s somewhat important for you to speak japanese”

Have you ever lived in Tokyo, Japan?

Yes, from August 2001 - October 2002 I lived in Tokyo, in two different places.I first lived in Nakano-Ku, then I moved to Koenji neighborhood in Suganami-ku, they are about 15 minutes on the train from Shinjuku JR station.There was an internet cafe close to here and a place that specialized in chicken dishes.My old neighborhood in Koenji, haven’t been here since about 2012.see that store on the left, I used to go there almost every day and buy DangoThere was also some Nigerians who use to sell crappy “hip hop” clothes around here, telling everyone they were “Americans from NYC”. :-/This is Shinjuku JR South (Minimi) exit, I know this place well, used to go here all the time.I didn’t know it at the time, as I was young and taking everything for granted, but it was one of the best times of my life.I worked in Shinjuku at first, as an English teacher, at the defunct Nova Group, which got shut down for money laundering and Yakuza ties a few years after I left.I only worked there 6 months. After that I took an IT job as a software tester at an American company here:About an hour commute, two hours round-trip daily. I didn’t mind though, I made a lot more money, and was working in my field. It was good experience that actually helped me get a job when I came back.Tokyo is an awesome city…the most densely population place I have ever lived, but clean, people are polite, and it is very modern, infrastructure is great.I also got to see a lot of the Japanese countryside, due to my ex, I spent a lot of time in her home, Nagano.Nagano is part of the “Japanese Alps” and is truly beautiful.I have very few complaints about my time there. I would recommend , depending on your interests, living in Japan - to anyone. Japan really is a special nation. It is not perfect, no place is, but it is a unique place.Back to Tokyo…I used to hang out in Harajuku and Shibuya like everyone else…Talking about it makes me miss Japan, but i guess what I miss is my time as a young guy right out of undergraduate…full of excitement, when I went back in 2012, it was cool, but not AS COOL as in 2002, because I had changed.Japan made such a positive impression on me, I find myself quite protective of Japan and Japanese people when it is attacked…especially by Korean and Chinese nationalists. It’s weird, but compared to my situation in China, especially, I feel that Japanese people certainly don’t deserve what they often get from people in 2018.

What is the monthly average cost of living in Japan for a single fresher working engineer (Outside Tokyo)?

I don’t know how much costs outside of Tokyo, I think it would be 95%, or 90% of Tokyo. I’ll just list the cost in Tokyo as below. (¥is the Yen Mark, means JPY)Conclusion at the first:Daily Cost (¥58,500) + Monthly Cost (¥30,900) + Rent (¥65,000~¥95,000)= ¥154,400~¥184,400/1 Month-----------------------------Daily CostBreakfast: ¥300Lunch: ¥600 (Obento, costs more if you eat outside with colleagues)Supper: ¥800Two drinks a day: ¥250#Sub Total: ¥1,950*30 days= ¥58,500-----------------------------Monthly CostTelephone Bill: ¥8,000Gas Bill: ¥3,000 (gas shower), costs more if you cookElectronic Bill: ¥3,500Water Bill: ¥2,000Drink with you team or department: ¥4k*2 (2 times in average) = ¥8,000Movie once a month: ¥1,800Museum once a month: ¥1,600Y-Shirt cleaning fee: 5 shirts a week*150 JPY*4 weeks a month= ¥3,000#Sub Total: ¥30,900-----------------------------Basic cost would be ¥58,500 + ¥30,900= ¥89,400 every month. Besides That, there are a lot of things you have to spend money I think, date, clothes, cosmetics (especially for female), travel, and daily necessities and so on.The money above does not include the rent. (65,000 ~ 95,000 one month)

Is it possible to live in Tokyo with just 80,000¥ per month?

I'd say it depends on how little rent you manage to end up paying. So if you can share the rent of a cheap flat with a bunch of people, and say have ¥40,000 to spend on food, travel etc., then yes, you could get by by carefully managing your budget. I'll keep the rest of this answer limited to food, as that will necessarily be a big part of your budget. These remarks are for people living in the Tokyo-Yokohama-Kawasaki area, and may not apply to life  in smaller towns.Lunches are generally a bargain, and a filling meal can be had in a number of eateries for "one coin," that is ¥500. There are also ramen, gyudon (meat-on-rice) and tempura chains where you can eat well for not much more. Then you should check out the supermarkets in the evening from around 5-6pm. Some, like Itoyokodo offer sizable discounts on cooked or prepared foods. I especially recommend the OK supermarket chain, which has the lowest prices of all. Their bentos (boxed lunches) are incredible cheap, though probably unappealing to a more discerning eye, and they give a discount to card members (membership is free) at the time of purchase, rather than you having to collect points.   Also, get to know the days some chains offer discounts each month.
