Most likely not. Most companies ask for a 4 year degree. If not, then you would probably work at some random food place.
2 :
You could find the work, the problem is you need the degree to get the visa to do the work in the first place. I know a guy with a high school education and a Japanese wife who owns a thriving English school. But he has a family visa so he can do that. The people he hires to work at his school have to have degrees if they expect to get a work visa.
3 :
It is possible but it is very hard. Most jobs require a degree. Take a look at this job site. Good luck.
4 :
Very few Eikawas hire people with no 4-year degrees, but it is possible. However, like mentioned, it is HARD. Your best bet is to either marry a Japanese national or to get your degree.
5 :
if you are an accomplished artist or musician, there is also an art type of visa as well, but you would have to be able to support yourself with your art from what I understand. Here is a big list of all the types of visas, there are art, religious and other types as well. Good luck! http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/04.html

If the frequencys are used in that country it will
2 :
the radio part of it will be fine. you just have to worry about the power source, and if it's batteries that'll be fine too.
3 :
Yes in India/Pakistan, No in North America. North America's AM radio band is based upon the number 10 (600, 610, 620, 630) The majority of the rest of the world uses a AM system based on 9's (630 639 720 801 1044 1062 )

a language translater so it can speak the proper language edit: i dont feel like being a dick so ill try to help, i dont think you would need anything to get it to work, it should work the same regardless of the location it is being used in.
2 :
Location will not make any difference to the normal use of your hardware. Cheers edit: In regards to power etc. Japan uses a 100volt system while France (as you probably know) uses 220volt. You would need a power adapter for your unit to be used in Japan if your Omega HD uses an external power source. If it is a portable drive powered by USB it will work the same. An adapter would probably cost more than buying another drive when you get there! Cheers

I don't think there are any. Many Japanese from all over Japan have gone up there to help. What they really need is money. $300 billion of it. Just $10 can help.
2 :
You at least have to pay your air fare and accommodation in Japan. And you will find many volunteer openings while you stay in Japan.
3 :
Unless you can speak Japanese fluently you are going to be about as useful as tits on a bull. Maybe there are some groups in the U.S., or whatever country you are from, organizing such an effort and you could sign up to be part of it. Other than that, donations to the Red Cross are the easiest way to help out.
4 :
You are not going to be hired for anything in Japan if you don't have a skill that they need regardless of how earnest you are in wanting to help. The Japanese affected by the tsunami need more than just someone passing out food and water. Japan is facing a growing financial crisis because the economy was not healthy even before the tsunami struck, and now it is even worse. Hiring any foreigner to work in Japan will have to meet one criteria - you must have a skill or expertise in something that the Japanese do not have AND it contributes to the growth of their economy. The entire infrastructure of the affected region is basically gone and that means no jobs in an already bad economy, no housing in a country already short on housing, no place to build new houses because the land sunk 14 inches and is now a flood plain which only makes any future typhoon or tsunami incursions a very a serious danger. Then there is the area around Fukushima which is a radiation hazard and will be that way until the reactors are dismantle if that is even possible. If you are serious about working in Japan, then get not just an education but a great education in a field that they need. Remember, Japan is a modern 21st century nation not some backwards 3rd world country. You are going to have to aim high.

Not job per se, but volunteer work. If you are in college, or not, you could propose to local businesses or scholarship foundations to fund your trip to Japan, providing you are really doing useful work there on a volunteer basis. America has foundations like habitat for humanity, the Peace Corps, and many others. And now there are some groups dedicated to rebuilding Japan. Check them out. You won't necessarily get a paycheck, but volunteer work pays off in a lot of ways.
6 :
The best way you can help support the relief effort is by making a donation to the Red Cross Japan Disaster Appeal via their website at https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp
7 :
You are not going to be 'paid' for working in the disaster zone. You have not listed any skills whatsoever that is useful in disaster relief nor how can you contribute to the reconstruction efforts. You obviously have no idea what volunteer work is all about, since there are many organizations like the Red Cross that have raised assistance for Japan. Please do a search on Y!A before asking retarded questions again and again.
