In which European countries does work experience replace specialized education?

Question

Career in IT

Hello, tell me please.
I know that in the States, 12 years of experience replaces a specialized higher education.
I have a diploma in economics, I want to look for a job in Europe, if I'm not mistaken, then to get a blue card you need to get a job in which you have a higher education, that is, with an economics diploma it will be VERY difficult to find a job and get a blue card as a programmer ( or am I mistaken? ), BUT in some countries, experience can replace this very VO.
Question: in which countries of Europe does work experience replace VO and how much should this experience be?
Thanks for your help and your time

Check out the person's answer on reddit for your question: www.reddit.com/r/IWantOut/comments/1vg3pd/german_e...
tl;dr
The Agentur für Arbeit then came back and said no Blue Card, but granted a 3 year standard work permit and residence permit. He said there just isn't any law they can use right now for experience.
He did say that there is a new policy, not yet in the books as law, that will recognize 5 years' experience alone, in lieu of a degree. But it is not law yet. Once it is, I will switch my visa to it, as with this regular visa, one can only apply for permanent residency after 5 years instead of 2 with the Blue Card.

Who can apply for the EU blue card?
A foreigner, a citizen of a non-EU- country, can apply for the EU blue card if
a) he or she has a German or an accredited foreign or a university degree that is comparable to a German one.
b) he or she has a working contract with a gross annual compensation of at least €48.400 (4.034 Euros per month), a contract in the so-called shortage occupation (scientists, mathematics, engineers, doctors and IT-skilled workers) with the amount of €37.752 (3.146 Euros per month).

Which means that either you must have a college degree or you must have a contract with a company that wants to hire you.
The concept of equivalent experience (as in the US) is not in the list of requirements.

Germany

Answer 8

then to get a blue card you need to get a job for which you have a higher education,

As I understand it, in Germany they give a card if you have an education in the field they need (Computer science, for example) and the employer is ready to pay you about 37k euros per year. For people without a diploma, or with an inappropriate one, this amount is simply higher - about 50k.

Answer 9

The employer decides, especially in the environment of programming, webdev, design. In this area, experience and portfolio are crucial, and fame, for example, in the OpenSource environment (participation in serious projects, activity on GitHub, your own popular projects) in general often works wonders. Education is a useful thing, but not so important.
