"As MMM said, there is no point considering a Japan unless you have, number one, a college degree (4 years or better)"

The alternative to a super-duper college degree is to be able to nihongo at a good level. It will not matter a fig how good your degree is if you can't speak japanese, unless you get a spot with a mother company. (read this as asian branch of what you would apply for in your own country). Japanese is required big time if you want to do real work here, the alternative is if you are a web lord and can work from any location or have some other talent that does not have a language barrier.
