Any folks in their late 30s/40s in the JET program? If so, what’s been your experience?

Writing this while sitting on the metro in Tokyo. It’s my second time in this beautiful country (I’ve been here for about a month now), and I can’t stop wondering if I should take the leap and move here for a year. I’ve been in a stable government job for five years, but I’m not feeling fulfilled. I know it would mean a big pay cut, but I’m really curious—what has the JET experience been like for those who did this a bit later in life? The good, the challenges, all of it.
