      Pros

      Life long friends made, pushed out of comfort zone which lead to personal growth, experiencing a new and incredible culture and ways of life, the students are the best part!

      Cons

      Despite making amazing friends, it can also feel very isolating for months until you get to that point. Wages haven't gone up in a loooong time

      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.
