What can I do if I graduate as a Japanese major?

Pic unrelated, although it's Ichigo Mashimaro for those who want to know.

Teach English in Japan? It's not a very desirable degree.

>> No.4690308

You can go back to school and get a more useful degree.

Pick up a trade? I don't know.

Mine turned out to be useless so I'm going back to school for a philosophy degree

Can I become a translator of sorts?

>> No.4690323

I don't see why you would major in this. I mean learning it is fine and all, but what more did you expect out of it than reading VNs and shit?

>> No.4690322

Do international law.

Pretty much. Can't you just learn it without paying through all three anuses for college, and then take a test that proves you're fluent?

Not much in the way of good wages.
Native Japanese teachers of English love to tell native English speakers how to properly speak English and will not back down if they're wrong.
Not everyone likes kids.
No promotion opportunities.
Japanese boards of education are sloooooooooooooow.

>> No.4690414

It's best if you do not major in Japanese but still learn it as much as you can.
If you are determined to major in it (I did similar, EALC major), there are always opportunities available for government, military, and international business. Worse case scenario, you can get into the English-speaking tour guide business.
