JET programme is not all that great. You basically sit in the corner of a room for 8 hours a day. Some people love it though.

Pro: Big money (for sitting in the corner of a room for 8 hours a day)

Con: Sitting in the corner of a room for 8 hours a day

Pro: Sitting in the corner of a room for 8 hours a day in JAPAN

Its not big money dude, its like 45,000 a year and you come out with ZERO savings generally.

It depends on your perspective, my sister and three of my good friends have done it. Go to Japan, get a working VISA and skip and change jobs at will. JET & NOVA are kind of jobs based around tokenism and is hard/boring work for little reward. There are heaps of jobs in publishing in Japan but anyway you'll find out for yourself. All the best of luck and I'll probably see you there.

One of the only benefits of JET is the three year working visa. Once that is out of the way, finding other positions should be easy. Are there other easy ways of getting work visas? (that don't require schlepping all over the place and spending money on lodging in the meantime)

working in japan kind of sucks from the sound of it... you have to like.. work... and stuff.. a lot

you can get a work visa easily if you get a job in an international company based in the u.s., just have them send you to japan

I thought about this. This plan > working as a teacher, but it's HARRRRRD to find A job, let alone doing something cool at a multi-national corp.

i work as an english teacher, remember? you'd hate it in japan and i can promise that you'd want to break your contract and move back to the u.s. about seven times per week, once per day. don't do it!
