You are saying the opposite. My advice: 1) Get degree 2) Get sponsor 3) Get visa 4) Go to Japan. You are saying 1) Go to Japan 2) Get sponsor 3) Change visa (or at least that is possible, and that many people do it).
If you don't have a degree, then you need something else: JLPT 1 is one thing. Five or ten years experience in a specialized field is another. A particular talent, like french chef or baker would probably be enough. However, in general, these are not things that teenagers or early 20-somethings have. You said your friend is teaching at a business school, and doesn't have a college degree. I assume he has some level of business experience or else I wonder what he could be teaching.

Aaaaah, i'm not saying GO! Do it! I just wanted to point out that it's technically possible.
As for my friend, I don't think he's got much business experience. he just watches too many movies and blagged the job.
Also, the reason I started the 'How old is everyone?' post, is because I didn't realise at first everyone on this forum was like 12. Do now though.
Kids! stay at school and don't do drugs! (or you could end up winning 8 gold medals for your country or becoming president of the United States) You've been warned.
