Internet job... well, if you're any good at graphics, web design, or programming, or anyhing else that can be completely computer based and does not require meeting a client in person...

Or yeah, dropshipping, open an ebay story and act as a middleman for some other company to sell their stuff... Lots of stuff to do!

Well, like i said, the situation is that my girlfriend lives is Japanese and lives in Japan. so I head over there she works about 50-60 freaking hours a week, leaing me with nothing at all to do. So anything I can do to make money while im in japan would be awesome. I have been 7 times in the past 3 years and its really hurting me financially--more so from time off work than from the ticket itself you know? take 2 months off work and it really hits hard when you only have a 3 month long summer to work full time.
anyway, I'll only going for be able to go for 1 month this summer (going to make my proposal official too!). So if anybody has any advice on starting up a drop shipping process or ebay process that would be awesome, and I wouldn't mind helping out you guys on getting parts either. I'm probably not headed over until the beginning of July for this year, so I can save up some more for an engagement ring, but if you would be interested at that time send me a PM and we can work something out. or any other advice or ideas let me know too, its just about to the point now where I simply cant afford the relationship anymore you know?

Once I finally become a teacher i'll be headed over every summer, hopefully teaching English for about 3 months a year. So I suppose it would be great to get something started now and maybe it will be fruitful in the future. Anyway, its a while until then, just trying to get some ideas for now, but if your interested along the way pm or post.

Why wouldnt she move here? Or you move there?

If you have $ to invest, buy up a bunch of those wonderfully cheap electronic gadgets over in japan. Someone who actually speaks english could make a killing providing proper support for the cheap products that are available over there... I've ordered a few things from japan because of the price, but when an issue popped up, it was like i was talking to a brick wall.

Car parts for sure too, the "JDM" market is still pretty hot, although I can see it trailing off over the next few years, there definitely is still a market for it. I know us yaris folks are hungry for a cheaper supply of the awesome aftermarket that exists for the vitz over there... but I"d say a better investment would be electronics.

probably the most popular drop shipper:

tough to break in with them though, such a ridiculously saturated market with most products being kinda tough to move.

ok think about this why bother with the relationship, long distance doesn't work out... its costing you a fortune, she's probably seeing other people when your not there, why prolong the obvious...

and your going to get engaged to her and spend 3 months a year with her?, head shake

NO more post like that eh? anyway she doesnt cheat on me, but im not there so if she is she is lying to me and I dont love her, I love who I think she is--but, thats who I think she is so thats no reason to break up. Secondly, when we get married of coruse she will come here, we will travel to japan in the summers to be with her family, thats one of the terms that I sortof have had to make with her family. also, she has spent more on me than I have on her....so...anyway, she is pretty great. And we will only be engaged for anymore than a year before getting married.

why not just become an english teacher now, the pay isnt the best. but its better than nothing. and you can tutor at home on he side and make some cash there too. it will definitly keep you busy. my friend went to japan 2yrs ago for the summer to give teaching a try and never came back she loves it there. i was going to go to korea with my girl and do the same thing next year.

Well, when we first started dating i pursued that route, but it turns out to legally make any money in Japan you have to have a college degree...and though ive been here for four years now me and my stupid self transferring colleges and then changing majors has added on some extra time.....ugh

on the other hand, Japanese porn is always in very high demand, so if your girl's up to it............
