The highest paid jobs for foreigners in Japan is in the financial sector, but being a good trader takes a lot of experience and education. Good traders can make 3 million yen a month, or more.
IT jobs are fairly easy to find in Japan, but the entry level pay is the same as what you would earn teaching, and the hours are longer. You must have a degree, and preferably a certification of some type as well.

IT jobs also need you to be very fluent in the Japanese language. I am an example of someone with the education and 12 years of experieince who can't find an IT job in Japan, but then I was also picky...
