      Pros

      If working in Tokyo, 16 contracted working days a month but will still receive the full JET salary More days off in comparison to other JETs Many things to do in and out of Tokyo

      Cons

      Desk warming time can get monotonous Having Japanese proficiency will not required for the job is tremendously helpful and therefore I think is an essential when surviving Japan

      Pros

      JETs have support from CLAIR , their Board of Education, and local AJET chapters. CLAIR provides training, orientations, and even funding for teaching certifications.

      Cons

      Some ALTs co-teach actively and feel valued; others get stuck reading from a script. Your school, co-workers, and Board of Education make a big difference.
