  With a goal of understanding the conditions under which jets might be
produced in novae and related objects, I consider the conditions under which
jets are produced from other classes of accreting compact objects. I give an
overview of accretion disk spectral states, including a discussion of in which
states these jets are seen. I highlight the differences between neutron stars
and black holes, which may help give us insights about when and how the
presence of a solid surface may help or inhibit jet production.
