For other jobs, like programming, English and a certain level of Japanese will likely be a must.
So what kind of jobs would I be able to get, then? Surely there must be something I could do even though my Japanese most likely will be far from fluent and I wouldn't have any "special skills" other than preschool teaching?

Yeah, like I said, I didn't really expect to be able to teach English in the first place.
