I feel depressed staying in Canada for my whole life. My dream is to go abroad and work in another country, probably somewhere in Asia. I'm a 25 year old male.

I've been to Japan and really like it there, but I think my only options would be working in a restaurant, doing some type of farm work or maybe working in a hostel/guest house (I only have a two year hospitality diploma, not a university degree). I suppose I would have the same work choices in Korea, or anywhere else.

Another option is continuing school, and staying somewhere for 4 years to complete a degree. In my country, being an international student is a complete ripoff. However, I've heard it can be done cheaply elsewhere, such as South Korea. Is this a good idea for someone like me?

Resources:

>$0 savings/debt
>Very basic understanding of Japanese
>2 year hospitality management diploma
>Not really picky about where I land, as long as I can be happy and somewhat successful

I know I'll have to work and save up money for a while to fund my trip before leaving Canada. I'm not sure about how much I'll need, though. Oh, I should also mention that I don't really care about what sort of place I have to live in (small apartment is fine, I only care about getting the cheapest place possible). That being said, I do prefer being somewhere convenient that won't cost me a fortune for local transportation. Somewhere I can have a social life would be nice too, so I might have to rule farm work out.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. I wonder if anyone here has been in a similar situation in the past. Let me know if I'm forgetting any important details.
