Do you have any tips for the application process? I’m looking to apply but I’m really anxious about doing things right and making my application seem good

This is ridiculously complicated, no insult intended. If I had to itemize like this at home in the U.S., I would go insane. Your list of categories must be over 50 items! I hope you did not feel like you had to make such a complicated list when you lived in the U.S. I can work out all my monthly expenses at home in 2 minutes with just a pen and paper.

Thanks so much for this video, I feel like a lot of J bloggers gate keep information which makes it hard to get a financial grasp of being a teacher in Japan.

Chelsea san I hope could do more videos soon I really like how you edit your vlogs

Hi Chelsea. Thanks for this informative video.

Girl, did you also bawl your eyes out after reading A Little Life?!?!

Your income is twice as mine. What I found is cycling not driving saves on gas costs, car insurance, car checks, and cost of the car. It also keeps me in great shape. I have cycled all over Japan. Most places are cycle friendly. This includes most of Kagoshima.

I love you ❤❤❤

grabe ang hirap pla talaga.

OMG more videos please, can i bring my only one child in moving to Japan under Jet programme?

Maybe they will have to get them from India and let them teach English even.

With the yen collapsing I predict that they will have to take who they can get. They will have to lower their standards perhaps to someone with just an Assiciates Degree even in the not so distant future.

With the yen approaching 157 yen to the dollar the wages seem very low. You get paid less than working for Starbucks in California with minimum wage starting at $20 an hour

Just got my placement in rural Kagoshima as well! Please no rent!!! 🙏 Hahaha! Thanks for the video! Can't wait! Makes the budge go so much further. Especially coming from a major city in the US!

Hey! I’m at JET 2024 and I got Kagoshima as my placement! How is it??

just for ppl watch in 2024 3.36 million yen us currently 21.7K USD as of April 2024

No rent?

You're lucky since the school offered free housing which takes a huge chunk of an ALT's salary.

This was very helpful, thank you very much!

many japanese themselves are living on a much lower income than jet alts

ALT先生たちの給料ってちょっと大変見たいね、この前入った仕事インターラックって言う会社の給料は毎月２１５，０００円だったの。もし手取りだったらその税金、社会保険、年金を取引れたら毎月１８８から１９０、０００までなの。めちゃくちゃ低すぎてがち大変だったんです

Wow being broke

Thank for this video. I’m an applicant for 2024. I just followed your Instagram too

I'm not quite to ready to move to Japan (I'm 49) but I can retire with my pension at 60 or 62. Do these teacher programs hire any part time assistants or only full time employees?

Hi its really good video, But, is this still relevant to now ? or no ? What about living cost in Nagoya ? is it enough with 250.000 JPY without rent or its still enough if included rent too ? I really confused right now, and couldn't find any good source that still relevant to now days. thank you in advance and hopefully you notice me and could answer me.

you have the most value per minute advice about the JET application. Thank you.

Great video, thank you for this!

subscribed. first you are so pretty ! second all your vids a re so helpful. hope i get lucky and be accepted in JET programme

Hi. Can you proofread an essay? Thanks.

What about a personal retirement investment? Are you planning to retire in Japan? I don’t hear many living outside the US talk about financial security when they get older and want to retire.

What is with the net around the bed?

Your place is so cute and pinterist worthy! I have a question because im thinking of applying to the JET program. How many holidays are you allowed to take off during the year? I want to be able to visit my family.

I am currently a college student studying the Education Course Major in English. I also plan on being an ALT someday, so this video was really informative and helpful. Thanks for this Ma'am Chelsea!

This was awesome. Thanks!

Im currently a full time teacher in America and finishing my certificate program. I also have quite a bit of japanese language knowledge and am planning to take my n5 test this year. I have my tefl certificate as well. I love teaching children as i work at an elementary school. Hopefully i get it because its my dream to teach in japan.

Hello everyone! Thanks for watching this video! As of August 2023, I'm no longer an ALT with the JET Program (I left on good terms!).

I still have to study for 2 years, but I'm already planning to get into the JET program after I graudated and when I save enough money. For the video, it really is helpful because it gives me so much ideas on how to spend and budget the money (If ever that I get accepted). It'll be my preference, for sure.

Why a welfare pension? What happens if you leave? It pays for actual Japanese citizens but never you?

Thanks for this video. Veey helpful

damn!!! that is so fking cheap :o

Hi Chelsea, thank you for this very informative video! May I ask how much did you prepare prior to applying for JET program?

Hello po! I plan to be an ALT under the JET Programme. I want to ask which TESOL/TEFL online school did you take in order for you to have the certificate?

Hi! This video has me 100% sold on giving this a shot. I am a bit concerned, however, as my appearance is far from what I imagine a "good pick" would be for a role that involves working in an educational setting with young people. I'm very heavily tattooed (nothing on my face or neck, but the back of both hands are tattooed so even if I wear a coat, I would not be able to cover up entirely). I have nothing offensive inked (no offensive symbols or words, no nudity or graphic imagery). Will this be a problem?

I don't know how you do it. Interesting vlog. Good luck 👍
