I've been contemplating about pursuing a career of some sort and living in Japan for quite a while now. I am an Asian American undergraduate at UF currently majoring in EALL. I am fluent in English and Chinese-Cantonese, but I am not literate in the latter (I cannot read the kanji). I am planning on spending a year in Osaka to study abroad during 2008.
This may be a broad question, but what studies should I be focusing on to get a good career in Japan? I've done alot of research on the subject, and I know that many gaijins first enter the country through various work visas and most predominantly, the JET program. These foreigners usually also go on to become entertainers, English teachers, or bartenders, none of which suit my tastes. My general interests lie with computers for the most part: stuff that involves IT and networking. Grabbing a translation job for a gaming company of some sort would be a dream come true for me, but I'm not sure what current job situation is over in Japan.
