Offer looks okay by me.

Nothing spectacular unless you start picking on all the minor details. Will go on.

Every job has a risk. Satisfaction is one's own, no-one elses.

Forced housing. Indeterminate pay period ("about 21 hours"). Illegal fines. Unequal time needed to give notice (1 month for employer, 3 months for employee). Oh, sure, nothing to worry about.

Glenski, thank you for your opinion. It confirmed what I'd already decided, that I'm willing to take a chance with a dispatch company and that my experience will be largely dictated by the school(s) that I am placed in.

The ideal fit for me would have been JET, but the lengthy application process, massive competition for places and summer start date were all enough for me to decide it wasn't feasible.
