Sorry, no. You need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa. You could if you were already living there with a Japanese spouse. The site below tells you about visas.

I want to go to university in Japan when I am done school, but if I have a student visa, how could I.
I want to go to university in Japan when I am done school, but if I have a student visa, how could I...?
How could I make money if I can only have one visa at a time? I would have to have a work visa and a student visa if I wanted go to school AND work. So, how would I be able to make money if I could only get a student visa?

You can never get student visa and working visa at the same time. So you need to have enough money to go to school for years or you won't get student visa.

part of Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs Home page says~~~ Student Visa All other foreign student in Japan need a student visa in order to study in Japan. Visa applicants require an educational institution as their sponsor in order to obtain a student visa. Student visa holders are not allowed to engage in any paid activities, unless they get the permission of the school and the immigration office. Even then, students may work only a set maximum number of hours per week. Working on a tourist visa is prohibited. I've heard it's not too difficult to get permission to work part time but as you see it's provisional.

Any things about Japanese schools I might want to know
Any things about Japanese schools I might want to know?
I may transfer from a normal middle school in Colorado to a school in Japan. (Just for a year) but I know that the customs and rules at the school would be very different. Is there anything I can't do and things I should know about? Please tell me as much information as you can. :D

Are you going to a Japanese school, or a foreign school in Japan? If you're going to a Japanese school, things will be REALLY different from what you know. (Their culture around teachers, homework and respect is VERY different from the US or Canada) If you're going to a foreign school there (I think there's a Canadian Academy in Kobe, for example, or US Military sponsored schools in Japan,) then things will be about like you're used to.

You need to know japenese :D
3 :
Um.You would have to know Japanese first of all. Secondly, most schools have some kind of a uniform policy. Thirdly, the education is extremely high leveled. Thus, resulting in an enormous amount of studying. Not to mention there are a lot of bullies. But on the good side, most people are very friendly.
4 :
I was an exchange student in high school and it was very very different. Are you an exchange student or going to an American school.
5 :
Judging from your other questions, I don't think it's likely to happen.
6 :
I don't think you transfer to school in Japan for a year if your posted questions ever are all true and correct. Dreaming is OK for anything but, Japan is not a part of USA. You shall have to study a lot more in Denver.

Well if you are one of the favored few honor students who takes a lot of Advanced Placement or College level courses, don't worry about anything. Japanese schools emphasize math and science the most, especially at the high school level, in fact in High School its practically all they study. The reason for this is their culture's dependency on its technology market. The sheer amount of Math classes they take, makes it so that many Japanese 10th graders are taking what we would consider "college level" Algebra. No joke; "college algebra" in Japan is taken in the 10th grade, about. Furthermore, most schools beyond high school are technical schools that are primarily skill oriented again, to feed the technology market the country depends on. Technical, or skill based, the key word here is skill, few Japanese attend what we would consider College or University, and yes, Universities in Japan are murderously difficult, Tokyo Universe being specially infamous. Admissions exams are so tough in Japan, that in Manga or Anime, when the creators need to say "this character is intelligent" all they need to do is say they attend University. I asked a Japanese friend of mine about that once, why so many bad guys in a lot of animes are college students and he told me, it was a shortcut the artists used, similar to how Marvel Comics states that one of their characters Reed Richards is intelligent, and to say he's intelligent they said he went to Harvard, M.I.T., Columbia, Cambridge etc. In Japan though, all they need to say is "he/she is a University student." Let that paint a picture of how rigorous it is. If your math and science are strong, and you LOVE those subjects, hey, Japan is a dream come true for you, the Japanese high school mean, because there you will see a lot of it.
