I know someone who didn't get a degree but went to one of the tv companies (I'm pretty sure it was the BBC) and did their in-house editing course. A lot of companies will only take you on and train you themselves. We did a lot of camera work as well as editing and we were told that companies such as the BBC wouldn't take us on because they would have to retain us. I eventually re-qualified as a nutritionist, but would have loved to use my film degree. The best advice I can give you is to write spec letters to all the production companies you can. Offer to do unpaid work experience to get a foot in (and unfortunately a lot of these companies will expect unpaid work experience anyway). Also enquire into any in-house training they may have. And make copies of your editing and make an appointment and take it in to show them.
