It's not been dull!! But as Sir Alan used to say on The Apprentice,“Once you decide to work for yourself, you never want to go back to work for somebody else." It's true and barring a divorce,hoping it stays that way
Re: Occupations: What do you do?
Yeah, Nagano is awesome! I'm more north-east so I have easy access to everything great the prefecture has to offer, plus the shinkansen for Tokyo trips, and the IC gets me to the coast in an hour... It really is the dream...
As for salary, I may never get to buy a Lambo, but $40k and +60 days of paid vacation a year not including weekends or national holidays sure allows me to live the life I want, especially in Nagano!

High school teacher - love the stability as a permanent member of staff but hate the lifestyle and the hours.

Freelance strategy consultant since April this year. I couldn't keep going with the salaryman life in Tokyo.

At the moment I'm working as a translator in a Japanese car manufacturer.
The contract won't be renewed next year, so who knows what my next job will be

In Iida we were pretty isolated. It was a 2-hour highway bus ride to Nagoya, 5 hours to Narita. We also only had about 3 weeks paid vacation.Bushiman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 11:46 pm Yeah, Nagano is awesome!

Now I have a lot more, but getting 14 days in a row is always tough since someone always wants to have a meeting.
It seems no Japanese ever go anywhere (or are just really good at keeping quiet about it). Hopefully the Zoom solution will continue in the future.
