i do think that interpreters are becoming less and less valuable in the job market. (probably due to most people adhering to either spanish, english or mandarin if they were to work internationally). but studying japanese is the way to go! I have done this for 3 years and am loving. but a word of warning though, dont be too confident with just picking up japanese right away because you're a fluent linguist, ive seen many caucasians falter and struggle to keep up in class. This is because the kanji script will be extremely difficult for non kanji users to pick up, especially if they're not based in Japan. But anyways, good luck! and yes i know, the financial crisis sucks. Perhaps take a short course? like 3 months or something and see how things go with your japanese
