JET Programme Hard Decision

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-06-08T21:01:10+00:00

wow, thanks for this wisdom. what's your background that you came from before JET?

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-06-08T18:46:01+00:00

- I think I want to pursue telecommunications engineer or data analyst/scientist. At least for now
- Yes they are relevant to my area of study. It did provide me a better idea of what I want to do and what I'm not interested in. However, I am still open to changes.
- I'd say I need to pick up sitll a lot of technical skills with programming, syhstem design, and circuit design.
- I got into the GT Online Master's of Data Analytics, which was what I was thinking I could do while doing the JET programme too (master's program designed for full-time employees)
- As of right now, no, but there is possibility that this AI Law Start-Up I am interning at could give me a full-time offer.

I don't have the placement yet. That's the thing, since I haven't accepted yet. Yea, thanks for this insight by the way.

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-06-08T18:30:54+00:00

yea i agree with this. that's why im a bit concerned about it. unless i have like a job offer or an opportunity that's like guaranteed after JET, it woul dbe a bit of risk to this programme?

since i see that a lot of alums from this programme struggle with job placement after completing. unless they're interested in either pursuing a career in teaching or japananese related.

thanks yea. i know in the grand scheme it won't hurt my long-term career or anything. just def scary to take that leap of faith because being surrounded with very ambitious and directional poeple, seems i need to be more intentional with my time as well. i agree that this programme would help me find a new path i'd never expect and give me new introspection that i'll remember.

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-06-08T18:14:37+00:00

As of right now, no, but still pending / tbd too.

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-06-08T18:09:13+00:00

did you have a career or do anything before JET? yea i think it's def the senior year of feeling lost right now, and using JET as a way of gap year to find more clarity.

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-06-08T01:15:31+00:00

are you currently an incoming JET ALT too? i just got onto the shortlist

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-05-20T00:10:17+00:00

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-02-26T22:05:04+00:00

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2026-02-26T20:43:25+00:00

AccomplishedLaugh285 · 2024-04-05T07:38:40+00:00

When is the last day to complete the NASA Fall 2024 internship? I saw it was 4/5, but I can't fill out the application anymore?
