 人様の事ですが・・・

 同じ年代の子を持つ親として、また海外での生活経験も多少ある者として、我が子と同じくらいの年齢の女性を、英語が多少できるからと言って普通の生活もしたことがない皇族の方が、知人もいなくてそして治安もあまりよくない所に、よく行かせられるものだ、と思うのです。結婚しての赴任と言っても旦那は、まだ仕事さえこの先どうなるかもわかりません。日本での騒動でPDSDを発病するくらいの繊細な心のこの女性に、昼間一人で異国の都会の小部屋に、ずっと一人でいられるのかどうかも私は心配です。でも彼女の親父さんは、嫁に出したら後は旦那の責任とばかりに好きにさせていますから、まずはやりたいように二人でやらせてみよう、というお考えなのではないかとも思えます。

 この男性はまずは資格試験に合格し安定した仕事先を決めてから、嫁さんを迎えるのが筋ではないでしょうか、異例ずくめの今回の皇室の結婚劇、現地のパパラッチもいますし、これからもマスコミの格好のネタになる事は間違いありません。ですからこんな周りの心配など吹き飛ばすほどの敏腕弁護士に旦那がなって、奥方も元気で生活をしている姿を将来見たいものです。しかし、金銭的な心配はみんなあるのでしょうね、下記のニュースもお金の事が主です。

下記は10/1 16:50の産経新聞ニュースからピックアップしたものです。

 

秋篠宮ご夫妻の長女、眞子さまと小室圭さんは26日の結婚後に渡米、小室さんの勤務先があるニューヨークで生活される見通しだ。

小室さんが就職した弁護士事務所のホームページによると、小室さんは現在、法務助手として勤務。年末にニューヨーク州の司法試験の結果が公表され、合格すれば弁護士として勤務するとみられる。米法曹界の雇用情報を扱う専門組織「NALP」によると、1年目の弁護士の平均年収は1月時点で16万5千ドル(約1800万円)という。

だが、家賃や物価は日本の都心より高額だ。米国の不動産会社「リロ・リダック」の岡畠(おかはた)伸江シニアマネジャーによると、ニューヨーク中心部でセキュリティーが充実した1LDKの物件では、月に5千ドル(約56万円)が必要になるという。岡畠氏は「これ以上値段を下げると質の良い物件が少ない上、パンデミックから日常に戻りつつある現在は家賃相場も上昇傾向にある」と話す。

また、ニューヨーク在住の30代の男性会社員は物価について「食材は東京の1・5倍、レストランでの食事は2倍近くかかる」と話す。近年、アジア人に対する犯罪が増えているといい、安全を重視して公共交通機関の利用を避けると交通費も高額となる。

眞子さま国際基督教大在学中に学芸員の資格を取得し、東京大学総合研究博物館に約5年半勤務された。2回の英国留学で英語も堪能なため、現地で就職して生活を支えられる可能性もある。

I know it's someone else's business, but...

 

As a parent of a child of the same age and with some experience of living abroad, I wonder how a woman of my child's age can be sent to a place where she doesn't know anyone and where the security is not so good, by a member of the royal family who has never lived a normal life, even though she can speak some English. Even if it is a marriage assignment, her husband still doesn't know what will happen to his job in the future. I'm also worried about whether or not this woman, who has such a sensitive heart that she developed PDSD due to the turmoil in Japan, will be able to stay alone in a small room in a foreign city all day long. But her father is letting her do as she pleases, saying that once she's married off, it's her husband's responsibility.

 I think it would make sense for this man to first pass the bar exam and find a stable job before welcoming his wife. This marriage drama of the royal family is full of exceptions, and with the local paparazzi, there is no doubt that it will continue to be a good story for the media. Therefore, I would like to see the husband become an astute lawyer who can blow away the worries of those around him, and I would like to see the wife living a healthy life in the future. However, I'm sure everyone has financial worries, and the following news is mainly about money.

 The following was picked up from the Sankei Shimbun News at 16:50 on October 1.

 

 Mako, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Akishino, and Kei Komuro are expected to move to the U.S. after their marriage on March 26 and live in New York, where Mr. Komuro works.

According to the website of the law firm where Mr. Komuro is employed, he is currently working as a legal assistant. The results of the New York State bar exam will be announced at the end of the year, and if she passes, she is expected to work as an attorney. According to the NALP, an organization specializing in employment information for the U.S. legal profession, the average annual salary for a first-year lawyer is $165,000 (about 18 million yen) as of January.

However, rents and prices are higher than in central Japan. According to Nobue Okabatake, senior manager of the U.S. real estate company Lilo Redak, a one-bedroom apartment with full security in central New York costs $5,000 a month (about 560,000 yen). Ms. Okabatake said, "If we lower the price any further, there will be few good quality properties, and the rent market is also on the rise now that the city is returning to normal after the pandemic.

A male office worker in his 30s living in New York said, "Foodstuffs cost 1.5 times as much as in Tokyo, and meals at restaurants cost almost twice as much. Crimes against Asians have been on the rise in recent years, and if one avoids using public transportation for safety reasons, transportation costs are also high.

Mako obtained a curator's license while studying at International Christian University and worked at the University of Tokyo's Museum of Advanced Studies for about five and a half years, and since she has studied in the U.K. twice and is fluent in English, she may be able to find a job there and support herself.
