AboutDreams Expertise I have been teaching myself the language for the past seven years, having consistent practice with Japanese materials. I can help translate things from English to Japanese or vice versa. I can also help you get started if you're planning on taking up the language. =) I'm most familiar with things like anime, manga, J-pop, games and so on.
Experience I began learning the language in 1999. I frequently talk with penpals and natives in Japan, as well as continually keep up practicing with authentic Japanese materials.

Answer Hello,
There are many good job opportunities in the language field, especially by knowing English and Japanese. You should determine what it is you really want to do with your skills, and start looking into companies that will meet your needs. It's never too early to start, either - you can even ask places local to you if they'll hire you for an internship as you work on your studies, so you can get experience in the field.
The entertainment industry inside and outside of Japan is very big right now - countries worldwide are importing anime, manga, and video games. Japan is also importing the same thing from other countries, including America and English-speaking countries. By knowing both languages, you could easily get a job translating for a company in this field, inside or outside Japan, or being a foreign liasion. There are always government jobs available, too - working as a translator or interpretor.
I would say that travel would be a huge help to you in the field. If you have an opportunity to study abroad in Japan, it will help you to not only practice the language, but to get to know the culture and people in the country. (I'm not sure what you mean about the Commonwealth Games?)
When you've determined exactly what you want to do with your skills, then you can decide if you need further education along with the language courses you're taking.
