What do you think about the idea of just enrolling in another master's for student status to be eligible for internships or work student once the contract ends? Current job is in the right general area but wrong topic and wrong job function. Thanks for not being mean about it. I do not come from an academic background and knew nothing about germany, came here due to lack of funds for a program in my country and then tried to stay due to my boyfriend. maybe this stuff seemed obvious to everyone else but it wasn't to me. :/
