my wife has a bachelors degree and I don't, can I work in China if my wife gets a job there?

Dwayne, if you will get a S type for mainland China, then you cannot work in China legally. Usually, 2-year work experience and bachelor degree are needed when you apply for the work Z type, so if you can provide them, you can try to apply for the work Z type after you get the work permit from your employer.
