Aside from the obvious English teaching, what other areas of work are open to foreigners with the required Japanese language skills?
Also, how transferable are foreign qualifications in Japan? Do Japanese employers recognise foreign qualifcations and accreditation or would a foreigner pretty much have to retrain to qualify for employment in many professional fields of work in Japan?
I guess it essentially comes down to how likely a Japanese company is to sponsor a foreigner for a work permit. Which fields of work are more open to sponoring foreigners for visas?
Also, what level of the JLPT would be expected? Would 2 be ok for most fields of work, or is having JLPT 1 really the only way a Japanese employer would take you seriously enough to offer you an interview?
