I'm betting this has been addressed somewhere else here but...well, I don't feel up to looking for it.
Anyways, I'm studying architecture and I'm thinking of heading back to Japan for possibly quite a while to start my career since I think the outlook for architects is way better there considering the construction industry and the mentality around using architects. *ramble*
Anyways, I was thinking about doing JET to get my foot in the door. I gather that JET is the way to go over Nova, Aeon, shit like that. Anyways, if I end up stationed in the middle of nowhere it won't really help me make connections to find another job. So if I go with JET, that pretty respectable, right? But if I end up teaching at, say, Nova is the English teacher rep gonna kick me in the ass?
Basically, is there a 'penalty' for being an English teacher?
