I chose Japanese, because people told me to pick something i had a little interest in. So i was wondering.
exactly what kind of work is out there for a guy who speaks 6 languages? (norwegian, swedish, danish, decent german, english and japanese if things go as planned) =P.

I kinda want an education that has some future job possibilities. Are interpreters needed in Japan?
Is it hard getting a job related to language over there? any info about work that's language related (teaching, interpreting etc.) would be nice!
Well speaking all those languages you can be lucky,
You can be lucky and get a job translating books and all of that.
I do believe that there are interpreters in Japan, like in every other country, but if you are not lucky getting visa there or whatever, you can always try other countries in the europe.
I wish you good luck
