Hi Everyone!
I'm heading back to school soon and was curious if anyone had input about which type of degree may give me an edge if I wanted to work in Japan -OR- work in a company that has close ties with Japan, but are based in the US.
I've narrowed it down to 3 options (all Bachelor's Degree) in the order that I'm most interested:
Now I know that just because I have a degree in X doesn't mean I'll ever be guaranteed a job doing Y; that's largely why I'm interested in how these fields are viewed by Japanese business. I have a lot of corporate experience, so I'm doing things kind of backwards, but from what I understand a degree means a lot more to Japanese business than actual work experience.
If you have any feedback or comments please share, and thanks in advance!
