Yes, despite what other people will no doubt tell you, you can get work in South Korea without a degree. I'm not sure what kind of work you want to do, though. Some types of work are extremely hard to get a visa for without a degree, others are easier. For example, you can now get an E-2 visa to teach at a public school without a degree -- all you need is two years of college. However, teaching English at a hagwon without a degree is still illegal, unless you can find another way to get a visa (an entertainer visa is not legal to do this). Some people accomplish this by marrying a Korean or getting a Working Holiday visa. Korean-Americans can do any kind of work automatically, without any qualifications whatsoever, because of their race (F-4 Racially Pure Ethnic Korean Permanent Residency). The E-7 visa allows people like interpreters to work in Korea. The E-7 does not necessarily require a degree. The H-2 visa allows Korean-Chinese, often with few qualifications, to work in Korea. So yes, you can work in Korea without a degree, but it is much more difficult.
