Hello!
Ive done a lot of research about the jet programme and ive seen that typically its single people going for a few years to teach. I desire to live in japan long term and I was wondering if the jet program would be a good step into japan to do that.
I have a wife and daughter (who would be 3 or 4 by the time we would go) that would come with me. Im still an undergraduate going for a BA in interculural peacebuilding and two certs in TESOL and also intercultural peace building (redundant but might as well).
Im currently learning japanese, but im nowhere near understanding it. I just wanted to know if it was a good idea to go via the jet program, would we be financially okay? Is housing going to be complicated?
We are frugal people and my wife would also be working online for an American company still making about 1200 to 1500 a month usd. I have also seen that being an ALT is not the only option but I would need to be N1 fluency to be a CIR.
Thanks for reading that word vomit, I look forward to your input!
