Is it wise to study international business in Japan?
I'm a Japan fanatic and if I major in business it would be international in Japan. But people are always suggesting Chinese. I'm Chinese but I only speak Cantonese and I can't stand the sound of mandarin, so I probably really really hate to learn it. Also, I can't read or write in Chinese. I'm very interested in learning Japanese. I know studying in China is better because it is such a mast trading partner to the U.S. I find Japan's goods way more interesting. I'm afraid that I'll make way more money if pick China..

First if you have native fluency in Cantonese and English you have a head start already. Japanese business pay very well for those who can speak English and Japanese. So really to be successful there really depends on your ability to speak Japanese. I would recommend perhaps studying a year or transferring to a university in Japan. Perhaps the best program for you is Sophia University in Tokyo. They have an English set of courses and degrees that they offer and I believe international business is one of them. Plus they are really famous for their international programs, have lot of foreign students and professors, and is one of the top universities in Japan. You might want to also to look at Oberlin as well. But, I recommend Sophia. Its a pretty easy university to transfer to if you have completed two years at an American university from my understanding. I spent about a year there, but was a research associate and think this might be the best place fo you if you are really serious about going this route. Hope this helps
