Working as a translator or interpreter is a good idea, if you are married to a Japanese person or if you can find a company that will sposnor you. 99% of anime and mange that is translated into English is done by American and European publishers. The Japanese publishers don't publish in English. Most anime and manga translators live in the same country as the publisher.

Hey I was wandering about something. Not to offend any English teachers here or anything, but are there other jobs in Japan that I could do without being able to speak Japanese? When I go over (in about 4 years) I will (hopefully) have a degree in computer science. Are there say, english speaking IT companies?
If not, I would probably come over as an english teacher, learn Japanese and then try get a normal IT job.

Without being able to speak the language, no. You could investigate American companies with offices in Japan, but what reason would they have for sending a non-speaker over there? Do they teach Japanese at your college?

Ok, first of all: Should I save up and move to Japan after high school and go to college there? Are there even colleges there?( I need to research the Japanese school systems more...) Or would it be better to complete college in America?

On to Jobs... If I do go to Japan before college, I will of course have to work through it(If it is anything like the American school system).. My parents are cheap bastards who spent all my college savings on that damned plasma TV..(Always been content with a normal one, no idea why it needs to be bigger.. or plasma).. So, what type of jobs could an American college student in Japan apply for?

On to after college... I have no idea what type of jobs are available in Japan... I have too much pride to be an english teacher... If anyone could give me a general idea about what industries are there? Is it basically the same as American industries? Just to give you an idea, my interests are pretty much technological stuff... I have always had an odd fetish for virus-busting, too.

Hehe... sorry for all the questions, but I have been dying to ask them for a long time...

Thanks!
