I probably wouldn't take a job teaching at a company when I could do the same going with JET or some other organization. The idea of me finding a job for a real company would be for me to work on software development and improve my marketable skills, aside from Japanese fluency.

One of the drawbacks in planning my trip to Japan means I have to put my professional future on hold while I'm away. However, this is a measure of how much I want to go and learn Japanese. Who wouldn't want to do both?
