Cool, just wondering... I still think that you should apply and see if they are willing to wait.

Hmm, that's a pretty big requirement and I can't imagine it would be easy to pick up quickly. Might want to pick up Rosetta Stone and start learning just to show you're putting in effort for the job.

Rosetta Stone is free through the guard too! I have looked into it, but other things on my mind right now...

And really, how many people in BFE MN are actually going to be fluent in Japanese?

May have more to do with phone calls/conferences than with Yocals in MN

Oh, I know it has to do with dealing with Suzuki reps, but my point was how many applicants are going to speak fluent Japanese?

Most people that are that "well educated" really don't want to live in the middle of no where. Town of 8,500 people in the boonies of MN doesn't usually attract the top of the class harvard or yale grad.
