So, I will be studying abroad my senior year in Japan and I will have all my requirements to graduate after the year is over. I am looking to work there after I am done.

I am a sociology major, which is pretty broad and should be able to fit into a lot of positions. As of now I am looking to apply to the JET program before the end of my 1st semester in Japan so that I can possibly do the program for the 09-10 school year. Yet, this is mainly just a safety net that I would take so I could look for other jobs. My ideal job is in criminal justice, such as law enforcement. I figure that I would have to start with a smaller job in international relations, translating papers and stuff for a year or two before I was able to get my foot into the door in law enforcement/criminal justice. How would I go about finding a job like this, and what do you think my chances would be, fresh out of college? Are job fairs in Japan my best bet?

Is trying for the JET program a good idea? I'd rather bypass it and get straight to my career, but I'm not sure if that will be possible. I'm not really picky as to what job I get related to criminal justice as I know there will be complications since I won't be a Japanese citizen.

Let me know your input,
Thanks!
