Besides teaching English, what type of degree should I get if you want to work in Japan?

Question:

Answer:

You don't need a degree in English to teach English in Japan (unless you want to teach at the university level). Any degree will do as long as it is at least a Bachelor's degree. If you want to work in some other field, you would need an appropriate degree, proficiency in Japanese, and you would need to offer something above and beyond what your native Japanese competitors for the job can offer.
