Learning Japanese for one, and secondly (from friends who've visited) learning how to travel without a car. Skills that most of the Japanese rely on is English-speaking skills. You can get a job as a teacher and then moonlight as a tutor.
2 :
Teaching English is poorly paid. Become an offshore financial advisor or suchlike if you want to make money.
3 :
If you dont have very fluent Japanese, you are limited almost exclusively to teaching English (something that i have personally found.... less than pleasing). Average foreigner salary i would guess (for these positions) is equal to about 2500 to 3000 dollars a month for a full time position. If you have a university degree, try to find a job in your field, though many of these positions require natural japanese proficiency (and certification of it) to find a job. Best of luck to you friend.

Computer engineer, programmer, engineer They say that now Japan lacks specialists in technical disciplines.
