>>54910811Mori finished college while doing both work and commissions on the side, gaining marketable skills, experience and portfolio
she signed up for the JET program that aims to smooth out the transition period and cover for inability to speak the language

she also had a backup, because by the time she left for Japan, her family was stably settled once again, with both her sister and mother having successful jobs and her mother remarrying, which is why she could take more risks
