What he is saying is, if you get a job offer with a salary above the market rate in Sweden then you almost automatically get a visa otherwise you won't have a chance. Yes salary is the most important part of getting a work visa in Sweden.

Exactly. IANAL but as far as I know there are no quotas or educational requirements. Just as long you get a fair salary (which has to be approved by a trade union) then you're good to go. Edit: why the down vote? I am honestly curious what I did wrong.
A set of documents must be supplied to the immigration authorities, which consists of a guarantee of a job offer from a registered enterprise and detailed financial information. Education and age aren't concerned in this case. It is important when one applies to student visa.
Thank you for detailed explanation. I know the system - it is almost the same as it is in US - some company must decide to hire you and then to do all the paperwork.
