I can tell you several people who got PR after living here less than 10 years, but they were all married to Japanese. That's what I meant by my previous post.


Yes, I'm one of them. Cool

So what are my long term prospects in Japan? Will I get better work eventually after my time with an Eikaiwa? I'd really like to know because if I like my time in Japan I may stay longer.


I would take a cue from your signature quote - your destiny is what you make it. A long term career in Japan is possible, in some ways it is more conducive to it than some other countries in the region. But at the same time no one makes it easy. Personally I would look at the legal work angle when you get here. The money in that area would, could, should be spectacular.

Oh, well, that's not so remarkable. Is there any country on earth that doesn't give PR to spouses after x amount of time?

However, for those of us who are married (or just prefer to stay single) I'm glad that the 10-year option exists. It'd be nice if it were a little bit shorter, but at least it's there.
