Is it possible to find a job in Japan for economist?

Elias · Aug 26, 2005, 17:16

I studied for a two years in the college on specialisation "Programmer".
This summer I joined to the university on specialisation "World economics". I want to complete my college education by correspondence. Very soon, I will complete college(after 2 years), then - university(after 5 years).
Now question: Is it real to find a job for young specialist with my professions in Japan?
Thank you in advance!

An economist position where? At a financial sector, at a think tank, at media, or at a college?

Yes, there's a very large financial foreign community. Your English seems good enough to me to work there. Just gotta get the job. They generally only hire people that are local, unless you're a hot shot, in which case you could get a nice expat package.

English? Who sad, what I know just English? I can speak Japanese and German too... But much more worse then English. I want to learn Japanese serriously, when I will study in university.

It must be IT-related firm, or something like that, I think...
