I don't think so. Here are the FAQ about the blue card: http://www.bamf.de/EN/Infothek/FragenAntworten/BlaueKarteEU/...

Quote: "What preconditions need to be met in order for an EU Blue Card to be issued? 1. Applicants must provide proof of a completed university degree. If the university degree was not awarded in Germany, it must either be recognised or comparable to a German university degree. 2. Applicants must either provide proof of a concrete employment offer or present an employment contract that has been signed or that already exists. 3. This offer or contract must be based on a minimum gross annual salary."

Ouch. No degree disqualifies you? I guess some places don't take technical experience.

This might only applys in France in the eu each state implements directives from the EU as it sees fit there can be wide discrepancies

For example the way the Spanish implemented TUPE (how employees are treated in take over) is basically a big f$%k you to the EU as it makes no attempt to implement even anything close to the spirit of the directive.

I suspect that Germany might be stricter on the university Degree.

Also not all Eu states implemented it Uk Eire and Denmark did not.

To note: The spain blue card info says: Proof of adequate training and, if applicable, professional qualifications to practise the profession.
