Well, in all honesty, my frat brother from university majored in English.
The difference is that he wanted to travel to Asia, and for the past 4 years, teaches English in Japan at one of Hokkaido’s top high schools while doing translation work for Sony.

The salient part that you left out is that he must speak fluent Japanese.
That was the thing without which he would not have his current position
