The best thing for you to do is to improve your language skills.
I'm 31 and have been working in Tokyo for about 9 years now. I'm not completely fluent, but I got a job as a translator and I make about $75,000 US. I don't even have a degree! But I studied and made myself as useful as possible to my company. I do everything, translating, programming, network admin, web developer, and whatever else.
And not just the language, I think its better to open yourself to more fields. Companies will pay more for a person with a broader range of skills. Also, if you make yourself indispensible by being the only one who knows how things work, they will pay you more to stay.
Good luck at your interview, gambatte!
