I've been considering the Jet Programme after I graduate in about 2 years, I'm interested in Japanese culture and expanding my world view. I'm going to list off some questions so feel free to answer or disregard some.

What made you decide you want to do this?

What does your work entail? What are the hours like?

I understand that you can have preferences of where to be sent, rural, semi-rural, or urban, did you get your choice? Would you have preferred to be sent elsewhere?

Do you have much time to check out other parts of Japan? I've heard it's pretty expensive to travel too.

What kinds of things are you doing with the paychecks (if you don't mind my asking)? Are you more interested in going out and doing things or saving up?

Wow, thanks for the input, I appreciate it. I definitely want to get as many points of view as possible. I will probably make some posts on /r/japan and others as graduation draws nearer.

Was there anything you wished you knew or prepared for before you left to teach, or before you first went abroad?
