I am in the process of earning my TESOL/CELTA cetificate at SIT.
That said, I do not have a bachelors degree. Is there any realistic possibility of finding work in Japan? Any advice is appreciated. |

If you are an American and single there is NO realistic chance as the degree is required in order to obtain a work visa. If you are married to a Japanese you can get a spouse visa which allows you to do anything a Japanese can do. No degree = no work visa.
A non-degree diploma will not qualify you for a working visa in Japan. |

Without a degree the chances are slim; however, you may want to look into the few companies that will hire you on a working holiday visa.
Granted this is a one time deal with a 12 month set limit. |

Just an educated guess but if OP is an American citizen and studying at the School of International Training (SIT) in Vermont they are S__ outa luck getting a work visa with no degree. Americans can not get working holiday visas, only Canadians, Aussies New Zealanders and British nationals. |
