You could get a job in Japan without a degree, but you can't get a visa without a job that requires a college degree. It's that simple. The Japanese government just wants high income tax payers to work and settle in Japan.
They write the rules, and they issue your visa. It's not about employers.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
