Unfortunately to all of your other questions i'm not 100% sure. I did not go through JET to teach there. My friend who was in the program had a 2 year contract although i'm not sure in the least if that's standard.
When you get out you go about your life and find a job that satisfies you. If you still have your heart set on teaching over there you'd need to take some more standardized tests and get a certi for teaching english as a second language. Then you'd need to be hired by a company in Japan.
I see. Thank you for sharing what you have with me. I've still got some time before important decisions need to be made so I'll continue researching.

It is a worthy endeavor, though not a quick road to get there.
Thank you for the reply. Most of the best things in life end up being this way. I'll be patient.
