I want be an Artist bit I’ve always felt that it would be hard to live as an Artist In Japan than in England… I don’t know why.
If I can, I’d love to be an Artist in both of my countries.

I’ve had the same job, translator, in Japan and the US, but my career improved after I moved to the latter. Once, in Japan, a sample translation (into English) I submitted to a company was rejected due to “poor grammar”. It was obvious they didn’t even read it. I concluded it was because my resume doesn’t list a bachelor’s degree. In the US, I’ve translated for hundreds of clients and continue to enjoy a steady workload.

I would say yes. Somehow your question is related to mine. I’m actually being a connection between South America and Japan doing importation. But if I would be in South America, I would do practically the same, exportarion:) . I like what I’m doing now and hope to leave something good for both parts;)

はい、現在日本でしている同じ職業を、
将来的には母国（アメリカ）でやっていきたいと思っています。
しかし、アメリカでのほうが働きやすいと思います。（転職する理由の一つです。）システムエンジニアのコンサルをやらせてもらっていますが、日本だとまだまだ男性社会であることを毎日体感してます。
楽しいけど、「女性の」エンジニアであることをを意識しなくても働ける環境を求めています！
