yeaaah there'd be no second time rounds for JET...

I don't know what the penalties would be.....but I can honestly imagine the dissapointment for everyone, and the silent shame that you backed out after a few months. Like the JET programe is supposed to be like a big WELCOME TO JAPAN of cultural exchange, and the schools you've let down would be without a teacher for the rest of the year. Everyone would hate you, no one would say it, but you'd know, and you'd have shattered quite a few illusions of foriegners for all the little middle school students

lol well as I imagine, I have no clue really but that would be what would stop me quitting!
