*cough* On a purely scientific interest - but on a totally unscientific basis - I would say that the... width varies just as those of Western women. That skirt style, I remember seeing it in vogue a few years ago. It was meant for the young trendy OL's, I think - Otemachi by day and Ometesando/Aoyama by night - and these women were never even close to being overweight, however.

My wife plans to replace/create her entire wardrobe when we visit Japan. She's absolutely had it with American stores and fashion that have "supersized" sizes (e.g. a size 0 USED to be a size 4) and rarely carry clothing for anyone under size 6. She often dresses loli-fied because there's often no other choice. The silly thing is that her size simply isn't that unusual in cities with significant asian populations.

Convince her out of it. Tell her that you think she looks cute in that way.

I've given up on clothes found in the U.S. a long time ago... and even in regular clothes outlets in Tokyo, I can't find clothes (specifically business- or business/casual-styled pants) that fit both my waist and the length of my legs.

On Windows, to display 'à' the keystroke is ALT + 0224. You can view the different keystrokes for different characters via the character map (start > run > charmap). On Mac go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu > Character Palette. On Mac I think it's the same as Windows in having shortcut to displaying certain characters. These can be displayed in the Character Palette. Hope this helps. |

Ok I'm in a real dilemma right now. I'm not even sure if this questions is qualified for this thread but I need to hear as many opinions from as many people as possible.
Failing a subject in college would show up in your transcript. How big of a problem can this be when you're going to get a job?

Besides, the transcript is only a passport to your career. The rest of it would be all on your ability to suck up and pet down.

Your GPA will be affected as well, so if you are looking at a program that has a GPA threshold, you could run the risk of being excluded from it automatically. In the U.S., for example, programs offered by consulting companies and so on have/had these. However, if the class is a "fluff" class, you may be able to explain it away in the interview. As the number of years pass, this becomes less important - unless you apply to graduate school, of course. If it is not too late, though, could you drop the class without being penalized?

[ In US, college means university ] When you go to get a job, no one cares about what grades you got in college. People ask what you did in university and 90% of them don't even ask what class you got for your degree. So, you are OK and don't need to be worried. But, try not to get F's... drop problematic subjects if necessary. |

If you are going to be employed in a working environment were teamwork is important, your personality is at least as important as your other qualifications. Many employers want to have people who are proactive, who have shown the initiatve to work as student workers in the field where they want to work later on (for example). If you get a good written evaluation of your work, that can be worth as much as good marks in college. This is in part because theory isn't everything and many employers know about this. However, should your education limit your job perspectives to professions that are highly overrun, you need to be top, because of the increased competition that you will face under such job-market conditions. Now lets assume you were not top notch in your field, then your only chance are contacts to people in the right positions. Which is in part dependend on your socializing skills... (and well, lets be honest... your looks/health/social standing - personnel managers would not admit it, because of equality rules and such, but these things will have a certain impact too).
