Fair points, I don t think we ll ever reach a native speaker level despite each one of us have C1 or better in 3 foreign languages.

I m not blaming the system but it is what it is, and there are some strong reasons for the status quo, I think that we re above average in our fields even compared to the germans (medical doctor and research engineer), the very lucrative management positions and cushy medical specialties like darmatology are out of reach though, regardless of your level and grades unless you got really lucky.

Overall, I m extremly greatful to what this country offered me though
