Is it a good idea to learn a language to get a job?
Since I'm a ween I'm considering seriously learning japanese, not just for games and anime but for a living.
What do you guys think?
I think you're retarded if you expect to get a job from learning Japanese. Your best bet would be to teach English in Japan and learn the language for convenience.

If you plan to actually spend a significant amount of time in Nippon, or working with people from there, yeah I guess it's a good plan. Have fun with kanji.
>Is it a good idea to learn a language to get a job?
Short answer: it is if that language is English.

Not in Japan - very few Japanese speak English.

No they don't. That's why teaching English in non-English-speaking countries is becoming more and more popular as a career choice.

How are you supposed to teach English to Japanese people without knowing Japanese?

Have you ever gone outside of an English speaking country?

I'm an architectural drafts man, and learned japanese as a hobby. It got me a job as background designer assistant for a comic book artist last year. I lasted for 4 months. It pays like shit. and they use shitty google sketch up

As a polyglot, employers have only been interested in my Mandarin and Arabic skills, and even then it was more of a passing interest.
If you want to move to Japan, learn Japanese. Otherwise, you won't get much practical use out of it.
