With no college, there are almost no options. Even if you marry a Japanese citizen, the only jobs you'll find available are bar tending, waiting tables, or other jobs which pay 1000 yen per hour (or less).

Even if you do marry a Japanese, you'll have to pick one with a good job/income; immigration will not let you enter the country unless your spouse is employed and has the means to support you. Otherwise you'll probably need to be sponsored by one of her family members in addition to being married, which is even harder than it sounds.

You'll need a college education if you are to have any hope of a decent job in Japan or anywhere else. If you don't have the money for college, or the grades for a scholarship, join the National Guard in your state. They'll pay for 4 years of university, and you can attend school while you serve. You'll be ready to graduate by the time your enlistment ends. The Army paid for my education, it's nice not to have to worry about paying back student loans for the next 10 or 20 years.
