I'm also a Japanese student who has asked myself that question. My suggestion is to not stress about it too much.

For me, I don't really care if my future job is Japanese related or not as long as I enjoy it and am not stressed out by it. I mean I prefer it to be Japanese related and when I graduate from university that's the sort of direction I want to take however I think I will be studying Japanese for the rest of my life so see it more as an interest subject than a springboard for my career.

If you're still looking for options though.

The only jobs I can see being directly related to Japanese are

-Japanese language teacher
-English teacher in Japan
-Translator

However many jobs that a second language is helpful in include

-Police officer
-Immigration officer
-Customs
-Foriegn office (or whatever government department is the equivalent in your country)
