So my best ticket into Japan would be recruitment into the JET Program (to teach English) once I have obtained a 4 year degree and have achieved a semi-fluency in Japanese? If so, that sounds like a nice goal to set for myself. Sorry to sound repetitive with it, I'm just trying to sum it up. I'm taking in as much info as I can and writing it down.

From there, if I get recruited and accepted by the JET program, I take it I sign up for a 3 year visa (at the consulate when I'm recruited), which can be renewed at the end of my 3'rd year?
