Most likely not. Most companies ask for a 4 year degree. If not, then you would probably work at some random food place.

You could find the work, the problem is you need the degree to get the visa to do the work in the first place. I know a guy with a high school education and a Japanese wife who owns a thriving English school. But he has a family visa so he can do that. The people he hires to work at his school have to have degrees if they expect to get a work visa.

It is possible but it is very hard. Most jobs require a degree. Take a look at this job site. Good luck.
4 :
Very few Eikawas hire people with no 4-year degrees, but it is possible. However, like mentioned, it is HARD. Your best bet is to either marry a Japanese national or to get your degree.

if you are an accomplished artist or musician, there is also an art type of visa as well, but you would have to be able to support yourself with your art from what I understand. Here is a big list of all the types of visas, there are art, religious and other types as well. Good luck! http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/04.html
