That is tough enough. A degree is important if you have the motivation and wish to become successful and rich.
The lack of money would be a consequence some of the people without a degree would gladly live with.
Do you actually realise that you are putting your priorities on others?

It´s easier with a degree, but that´s about it. It´s not so special after all. I know more than enough unbelievably dependent people with a degree and hard- working, wonderful ones without one. The kind of job you have in the end does not have to influence your success in Japan. Success being wellbeing and comfort.
Welcome Cheers.

The inspiration for this post initially was in response to the many people that posted "I don't have a degree, but I want to live in Japan. How do I do it?"

Knowing Japanese and the culture is very helpful for living in Japan, but isn't very helpful in creting an opportunity to live in Japan if you don't have a college degree. On the other hand, there are many opporitunities for people that have college degrees, even if they don't speak the language.
