What is a Bachelors Degree in Japanese language good for that isn't being a teacher?

Question:




Answer:


Many Japanese companies operating outside of Japan are looking for recruits that speak Japanese to fill all sorts of roles (marketing, HR, IT, finance, etc.) as this enables Japan-based management to better communicate with their staff

Many foreign companies currently operating in Japan or interested in developing a Japanese market now require some level of Japanese proficiency. Gone are the days where a gaijin would show up and expect to land work just because he is a gaijin.

BTW, this is no different than asking: "What is a Bachelors Degree in any language good for?"
