Good career choices for a foreigner in japan?

Question:

i'm wanting to move to tokyo, but i don't know what i could do as a stable job over there.

Answer:

As mentioned, the most common form of employment is as an English teacher. You will need a degree and a job offer to get a visa.

Other than that, it will depend on your skills and experience. Can you speak Japanese? How well? Do you have a degree in business, engineering, law? Are you a published scientist? What do you have to offer?

Whatever you choose to do, you're going to need a degree and job offer to get a visa.


[edit; I hadn't heard about the students ranting about foreign students cheapest. Well, I hope it prompts some of the lazier ones into actually working during their 4 years at university. We've had students grumble about the increase in foreign students in Tsukuba - taking all the dorms, blah blah blah. Of course, these student's views are short -sighted and poorly thought out. These malcontents tend to be a small minority happily, although it is true a larger number of young Japanese would gladly seal Japan off from the rest of the world. Of course, such an action would be the beginning of the end of Japan as a world leading power.]
