Whats a good profession to learn if I want to live in Japan? -

Just curious. I wanted to move to Japan, but I have no idea what skills I would need to get a job there. So whats a good skill to learn?

If you dont have very fluent Japanese, you are limited almost exclusively to teaching English (something that i have personally found.... less than pleasing). Average foreigner salary i would guess (for these positions) is equal to about 2500 to 3000 dollars a month for a full time position. If you have a university degree, try to find a job in your field, though many of these positions require natural japanese proficiency (and certification of it) to find a job. Best of luck to you friend.

Learning Japanese for one, and secondly (from friends who ve visited) learning how to travel without a car. Skills that most of the Japanese rely on is English-speaking skills. You can get a job as a teacher and then moonlight as a tutor.

Computer engineer, programmer, engineer They say that now Japan lacks specialists in technical disciplines.

Teaching English is poorly paid. Become an offshore financial advisor or suchlike if you want to make money.
