Japan's unemployment rate is the highest ever in the postwar era. This is especially bad news for students, who are finding it difficult to find jobs upon graduating. But don't despair, students, deep down the bubble economy is still bubbling! Japan is still paying people to do jobs that don't even exist in most other countries.
Consider:
* The noise-making business. Services in Japan need voices, especially if you happen to sound like a child. You could be the voice behind the announcement in stores that tells people to keep their hands on the handrails of the escalator or the voice over the loudspeaker in the convenience store that tells you the time on the hour, every hour. If you have a good singing voice, or not, you could make recordings for the "yaki imo" truck or the song that accompanies the "tako yaki" truck.
