Sure, if you find another job teaching in Japan you can do that
You can do any career relevant to skills you have if you find a willing employer who will work with you to change your visa type.
Otherwise your educator visa locks you into teaching jobs.
Very rarely a BOE will offer the alt a permanent contract.
But more than likely, you’ll start shopping for eikaiwa/dispatch/alt work that starts when your contract ends. You might even be forced to end your contract early so that you can start in April instead (Japan hiring season).

Y’ALL HAVE PLANS FOR AFTER JET???
(Edit: me: turning 30, going home to a 3rd world country, moving back in with my parents, had a job but no “career” when I left and now returning to unemployment and a job-search competing with fresh-faced 21 year-olds and the highest unemployment rate ever. Interesting times ahead, that’s for sure!)
I’m gonna go back to Canada and get my teacher’s degree. I came to Japan with the intention of travelling, but also using the teaching experience gained as an ALT to help prepare me for teacher’s college and a full time teaching job back home!
