I don't think the JET program is just for college grads. But yes you can get work. You would have to just come over and apply. One thing that would work in your favor is that you are older so you would have more respect in that area. Right now schools are hurting for teachers because now they are teaching from sixth grade on. So they don't have enough teachers for that. So you could probaby get picked up by one of the companies that holds the school contracts not just some little English school. Another option is working with pre-school kids. i have done that for years. They are always looking for women mainly and especally older women.
