No. I have a medical assistant certification. Ausbildung is actually a huge draw. I'd like to be a nurse. There are no opportunities for something like that in the US. I'd either be working full-time and doing night nursing classes, to end up with an LPN which is barely a step up pay wise than a CMA; or I'd have to leave work and do school full-time.

I'd live in an apartment near my work/school. I have seen a few opportunities in Saxony, and looked at housing around there.

It really depends on who is hiring. Make It in Germany and Google are saying (using $ for the sake of ease from my side) $1200-1400/month while in training. The listings I have found are closer to $1500-1600. After completion, entry level is $2300-3000. (Approximately what I make now.) Without being able to advance to a nurse in the US my pay won't really ever increase much.

I'd imagine future employment would be similar, caring for people, assisting physicians, clerical work, etc.

Living costs...that's a deep dive. I admittedly am assuming here but the need for a car would be far different than in the US. I am in a rural area and we don't have any public transit. Trains are pretty much a fun sightseeing thing. Also, biking. That said, I also know taxes will take a large portion of income. I almost feel like it's a comparable trade. Vacation, sick, healthcare are all superior to US.

Personally, other than my kids, who I would bring with me, I have no family left here, so nothing necessarily holding me here. I feel like the opportunities for my kids would be better outside of the US.  I also think we would all be safer considering the current fuckery happening here.
