The questions:
-----
1. This is a question that I have not found any answers to, but it really is a big question that I have. I'm 20 years old and I'm going to school this fall for either education or computer sciences. I have a deep interest in both and I would love a career in either. I have always been fascinated by Japanese culture and would love to live there one day. I understand that I should probably vacation out there, once. Now to my big question..
If you don't mind me asking, how much money were you making and how much money did you save up before moving to Japan? What's a safe financial cushion for me when I am also ready to make my move?

2. I've watched and enjoyed many of your videos, and through them have learned you are somewhat a good and knowledgeable authority to bring this question to. So, firstly I'd like to ask what is the most profitable teaching in Japan, at a privately owned school, an official prefecture, or teaching business English? Through my searching it seems teaching business English would garner the most profit, but information on stuff like this is pretty hard to find on the internet, so the validity of it is questionable.
Also, what are the requirements to teach at an official prefecture? I currently hold a BA in English and minored in Adolescent teaching for grades 7-12. In college the second language requisite I took was Japanese, so while I won't claim to be anywhere near fluent in it, I do know some conversational Japanese. I've heard race, apparence, and height help to get jobs in Japan, is this true? If so, I am a 5'11 caucasian male, with short hair, and a clean work appearance. I currently teach middle school in NYC, also where I am from, and where I received my degree, I wear a dress shirt and tie to work every day with a blazer, so i suppose professional attire. I'm also 25, and engaged. Which is a reason for wanting to move abroad, it's been my fiances dream for a while and I figure the current field I am permits me to be able to travel and work in many countries.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope it reaches you and you have enough free time to answer. I'm sure you get these questions a lot, and if I've annoyed or offended you, I sincerely apologize.

3. Hey Victor, I was watching your latest video about the Gangnam Style parody. I heard you talking about your old friend who has three "baby mama's," and it sparked a random question.
One of my coworkers, here in the states (who's lived here pretty much his whole life), is illegal. Nothings been working out for him, and he said "Man, i need to get married." I asked "What if you had a baby?" He said they have to turn 18, and approve, before he'd be able to get one via that route. What about in Japan? Can you get a long term visa or citizenship, solely from having a child outside of marriage?
I actually thought of another question while writing this. Does Japan make irresponsible parents pay child supping?
Thanks, keep making cool vids!
much love
peace
