Please help; possible careers for me?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Ok, here's the lowdow. I'm looking into the business and finance sectors for potential careers and would appreciate some suggestions/advice as to what to look into.</p>

<p>I'll be going to a top 10 LAC and plan on double majoring in applied mathematics and either japanese or asian studies w/ japanese emphasis. I have an interest in economics and math, so for a career I would like to put those two areas to work. I also have an interest in Japan, and plan on being bilingual by the time I graduate. Thus, I would like to either work in Japan (either for a Japanese company or American company's branch) or to have dealings with Japanese clients/business. </p>

<p>I would love to have some job security and reasonable-ish hours (i.e. <80 per week), though I could certainly sacrifice for a few years to get somewhere I wanted to be. I don't really feel comfortable being a salesman (read used care salesman type) though I could if it also involved mathematics to do preliminary reports or research. I also have good interpersonal skills, and some writing and speaking ability, so being squirreled away in an cubicle wouldn't be a requirement.</p>

<p>Any help or advice you can give would help me out a great deal. Thanks!</p>

<p>That's an interesting combination. If you're interested in making models, you can look into careers in supply chain management (logistics) and various types of research. A lot of companies have close ties to Japan, so you can always try to get into international marketing, international logistics, internation finance, international whatever. I really don't have an answer for you though.</p>

<p>does your school have a career center/counselor? i think these types of "what should i do with my life??" questions are really hard to answer on cc. sorry; i just see so many of them and they usually get a paltry one or two responses...</p>

<p>I'm sure my college does, but since I'm not there yet that would be rather difficult to get advice...The reason I posted the question here is so I could pull from a great number of observers and so that I could perhaps read up on a few careers before going in to school.</p>

<p>By the way, thanks for the advice lrrrlrrr. Those are two possiblities I've never heard of before.</p>
