Working holiday visas for the Irish!

Coming to an eikaiwa near you…

It is a great day for Irish people without a college degree: they can now experience the fun of teaching English in Japan through a newly-established working holiday visa program! I dare say it is the biggest ireland-related news story since the discovery of a leprechaun in Alabama!
At this rate, by 2030 every country in the world except the United States will have a working holiday agreement with Japan.

Hi, I’m new and I’m just curious, does this happen for Americans as well?

There is no working holiday agreement for America/Japan, because that would require America to allow Japanese to come to America on working holidays and the last thing American lawmakers want to do is allow more foreign workers into America…

And here you have one of the very reasons why the world hates us Americans. I hate my country.
