Is it possible to get into the film industry in Japan? I hear that production companies over there love to get gaijin in their advertisements or just on television to host their shows because it is "cool".

I don't have no bachelors degree in teaching, and I don't want to spend 2-3 years of my life aiming for it just so I can live in Japan. I really want to live there but I need a solid job. Does anyone know any way that I can find somewhere to work with good pay? preferably in television?

I have just graduated year 12 in Australia, so maybe if there is a way I can go to a university in Japan and get a bachelors degree there while being supported??

It's possible, but I don't think it's as easy as that. Firstly you need to pay for your tuition and costs before applying for part time work as a student in Japan. Then there's the possibility of 1) Not being approved for Part time work and 2) not actually finding any work which will leave you in a worse situation.

Personally, if you want to go to Japan to work, get a Bachelors Degree in your home country first where you can be more sure that you will be supported financially.
