The kid could become a bartender at a gaijin bar if the business was willing to sponsor his visa. He could work for a US company with ties to Japan and be transferred. There are tons of ways to be able to live and work in Japan..Jet and the English speaking route is just the most commonly known/successful way.

I think it will depends on the type of VISA. I have no idea about working holiday visa though. But I have an Engineers Visa, and you definitely need a degree to get the COE.
I think the Entertainment visa does not need a degree too. My bf first had an Instructor visa, and he was asked a Diploma to apply for his COE but when he switched to Humanities Visa, he was just asked to have a proof that he is working for companies.
I guess Bobby's friend went for the Humanities Visa. Make sense.
