<prompt> Human: What job can one apply for in Japan with basic knowledge of the language and still make a decent salary apart from teaching English?  <response>: Currently teaching English in Japan.To work in Japan you need a work VISA. You will have a hard time getting a work VISA without someone to sponsor you. Meaning, someone or a companyuniversity has to petition the Japanese government saying they want you here. Getting a work VISA in other fields besides teaching English is extremely difficult. Most Japanese companies such as car companies or tech companies require N1 or native Japanese language proficiency. Most foreigners here will get a work VISA by teaching at things called Eikaiwas. Which are English conversation schools. Then with their other free time, work at getting a job in other sectors. TLDR: It is going to be difficult to get a work VISA without teaching English or having a high level of Japanese proficiency.edit:grammar mistakes
