I'm multilingual and want to work in Japan, what's a good career?
 
I'm considering studying a second degree/diploma in addition to my current science degree.
I can speak fluently English and Chinese and learning Japanese.
What's a good profession that uses languages and is not teaching?
I'm considering hotel management and tourism or journalism.
I like working with people and languages and writing and I'm really good with English. I can't write Chinese and can only read a little bit.

Can anyone give me any pros or cons or advice please?:D

The types of jobs you've listed don't necessarily hire overseas applicants.

You could look into becoming an interpreter or translator but they'll require a near-native level of Japanese ability.

There's always the JET program... You could become a CIR.


CIRs are posted in a local government office or an affiliated organization, such as the Council for the Promotion of International Relations. The CIR’s duties vary widely, but his/her primary job is to coordinate and facilitate internationally related activities in the community.
