Computer Jobs in Japan - 05-19-2008, 03:41 AM

I almost gave up my dream of ever going to Japan, but now I'm taking focusing on computers for a future/career. I'd just like to know what jobs in computers could help me travel to Japan, or heck even live in Japan?

I have also considered learning to become an English teacher, but being on academic suspension and the money and time it would take, plus I'm 24 and really need to get my life in order here, computers seems more like the best choice for right now.

Don't forget that you still do need the four year degree, regardless of whether you want to teach English or do computer-related stuff. It's possible to get into the IT field in Japan, but its very difficult finding your first job if you're not already in the country. That's why a lot of people teach English first through JET or something like that, then they may try and seek out a job in a different field while in Japan. It's difficult because very few, if any companies, will hire anyone presently living overseas... just too much of a hassle and a risk.
