I asked on /jp/ and they said that in the original Shiki and SHIKI are spelt with different Kanji. That's less silly (And kudos to MirrorMoon for finding any way to translate that accurately) but it's still just as obvious if not more.

I claim cultural differences.

Because you wouldn't notice the difference when reading the kanji, right?

Kureha, that reminds me of the problems that a friend of mine had to get a job. He got a Bachelor on Computer Networks Administration, but every employer asked for 3 years or more of experience.

vicious cycle, can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job

Usually the answer is to start early, do a variety of part-time jobs and get good references from them. I've had 3 part time jobs so far, going for a fourth. Hopefully that'll look good on my resume. Then again you don't want too many or people might think you get bored easily.

or you cant keep a job properly

Yes, exactly.

pretty much a lose-lose situation

This is depressing. As if we're not almost all NEET/jobless/hikki.

That's the way this hobby works.

now just gotta wait till the paranoia kicks in then....

Desshoune.

In his case, he didn't have the options "to start early" or "to get part-time jobs". He would have to do a internship, a.k.a. working for free, if he wanted to get the needed job experience. Psychology and other areas suffer from the same problem.

Luckily I should get on a research placement this summer between my final two years.

That will look very very good on my CV.

working for free sucks
