These are good points.
on top of this, we have to remember the hiring process in Japan and dedication to ones company. This is the thing that so many people either don't understand or choose to forget.
A person in a company is the person in charge of hiring. Chances are he isn't the president/owner, unless it is a small company.
That person has to find the person who is the best for the company. If the person works out, then great. However if that person messes up, the boss is going to look at the person who hired him for an explanation. If the employee that hired him can show the screw-up had a good resume and had graduated from college, then he won't be the one to blame.
However if the person he hired had no college degree the boss will probably fire (or some sort of punishment) for hiring incompetent employees.
This is why "taking a chance" on an employee without a degree or credentials isn't very likely. The guy hiring you doesn't want to lose his job taking a risk, despite the fact you are obviously a wonderful and dedicated worker who just couldn't get around to college.
