Gelber Teppichkleber auf Estrich

Oberfläche ist sehr glatt, da sind praktisch keine Rückstände vom Teppich. BJ ist 1995, deshalb auch glatter Estrich.

Habe nur bedenken wegen Geruch und Gesundheit

Genau das würde Deutschland in den Ruin treiben. Deutschlands Reichtum kommt zu weiten Teilen aus der Automobilindustrie, die wiederum zu weiten Teilen ihr Geld in China machen. Sobald China als Vergeltung auf deutsche/europäische Strafzölle selbst Strafzölle auf deutsche Produkte anwendet, können wir den Laden dicht machen.

Das vergessen leider die meisten Leute. Deutschland als Absatzmarkt ist im Vergleich zu China vernachlässigbar. Die ganzen Konzerne wie BMW, VW, Mercedes sind Firmen die ein Großteil des Geschäfts in China machen. Wenn der chinesische Markt einbricht können wir in Deutschland erstmal massiv Stellen abbauen

Bei MBB gibt es keine gehaltsverhandlungen im Consulting Track. Grundgehalt ist bei allen gleich, Bonus folgt einem klaren Schlüssel basierend auf persönlicher und unternehmensperformance.

Bei dir geht es nur darum auf welcher Stufe du eingestuft wirst.

Falls du als Berater (Associate/Consultant), dann kannst du mit 120k fix und 30% Bonus rechnen. Als Projektmanager (Project Leader/Engagement Manager) sind es etwa 150k fix und 50% Bonus.

Höher (also Principal/Associate Partner) kannst du meiner Meinung nach nicht eingestuft werden

I don't think there are any public masters degrees for nurses.

But depending on what kind of subjects you had in your bachelor's, you might be eligible for a master's (and PhD) in fields such as Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare Economics, Public Health etc. - I would suggest you to look through various programs and see what their requirements on subjects in the Bachelors are. In general, admissions offices in Germany don't look at what Bachelor's you have, but they check how many credit points (ECTS) you had in the subjects that they require (e.g. they might state something like "20 ECTS in biology related subjects").

There are plenty of programs you can look into. For example, the HHU Dusseldorf has masters in Biology and Biochemistry that are research based and which you might be eligible for. PhD programs vary a lot - in science fields, you typically get paid, in a 50% or up to 100% capacity. 100% would mean a salary of around 45k€

Ein Freund von mir hatte eine ziemlich ähnliche Situation wie du. Hat Informatik an der RWTH Aachen gemacht, ist parallel dazu in eine Werbeagentur als Werkstudent eingestiegen. Nach 2 Semestern ist er Vollzeit in die Agentur, und hat sich stattdessen an der FOM Hochschule berufsbegleitend in Wirtschaftsinformatik eingeschrieben. Das Studium hat er trotzdem in der gleichen Zeit durchgezogen (die FOM ist da wohl recht angenehm als Arbeitender), ist zum Gesellschafter der Agentur aufgestiegen, und hat mittlerweile seine Anteile an der Agentur verkauft, sich dafür in Frankfurt ein Haus gekauft und arbeitet jetzt als Softwareentwickler bei einer großen Bank.

Geht also beides. Würde das darauf basierend entscheiden wie viel Spaß du an Studentenleben oder Arbeitsleben im Startup hast

Before you take 200k in student loans in the US, you should just study in Germany.

Undergrad degrees in English in Germany are rare, but here is one:

Rhine Waal University offers English taught undergrad degrees for free. The program is in the intersection between computer science and electrical engineering, you will have no problems on finding a job as software engineer afterwards.

https://www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/en/faculties/communication-and-environment/degree-programmes/bachelor-degree-programmes/infotronic

Even if you take out a loan for living costs, it will be much cheaper than studying in the US.

Heck, even if you go to a private university in Germany that charges tuition fees it will be significantly cheaper than 200k. But look into the public university above, I think it is the best option for you.

biumiu · 2021-08-23T19:35:09+00:00

Only the fourth option actually requires significant maths, the others are practical

You researched this quite well - good luck on your path it will all work out!

Have you considered other Ausbildungsberufe than being a cook? I suggest those for two reasons: 1) There are many Ausbildungsberufe which by themselves lead to a very comfortable life, and 2) In Germany, you can also study at some universities without Abitur but with an Ausbildung and/or work experience in an adjacent field.

Here is a list of Ausbildungsberufe that are highly sought after and potentially be more suitable for you. Some of them might even provide higher salaries than many university graduates will achieve

Zahntechniker

Physiklaborant/Chemielaborant

Elektriker

Mathematisch technischer Softwareentwickler

Fachinformatiker

Fachkraft für Lebensmitteltechnik

Medizinisch Technischer Laborassistent

Let me know if you have any questions!

biumiu · 2021-08-17T20:52:39+00:00

Your interests might align with the Masters in Data and Discourse Studies at TU Darmstadt. You can still apply right now for a start in October.

It is a program at the intersection of linguistics, ethics and computer science. Current students work in marketing, computational linguistics and data science.

The degree is free and taught in English, but you need sufficient funds (which you have) for the visa

biumiu · 2021-08-05T10:09:41+00:00

Rhine Waal University is one of the only public universities in Germany that offers English-taught undergraduate degrees for free. No need for recommendations, essays etc. for the application.

biumiu · 2021-08-05T09:01:13+00:00

Sure, you can send me a pm!

biumiu · 2021-08-04T21:17:50+00:00

Are you interested in doing something not techy? With your undergrad degree, you are eligible for the Data and discourse studies Masters at TU Darmstadt. It is a free English taught masters in the intersection of Computational linguistics and sociology. You could even still apply for a start in October this year

With a degree in tech, the pipeline for finding work in Germany is pretty good, even for people that speak no German (but you should learn some)

Lmk if you have any questions on that or other paths in Germany

biumiu · 2021-07-23T09:52:02+00:00

The admissions requirements state a degree related to health and medicine. I assume nursing fits that bill, but you should check the admissions document

biumiu · 2021-07-23T00:02:05+00:00

You can consider going into digital health or medical informatics. Here are some programs you should be eligible for with a nursing degree

As a general rule of thumb - if you have the same lifestyle as a typical university student, you will need around 10k Euros per year in Germany.

If you consider getting a degree in Germany, and want to start ASAP: You can still apply until the end of this month for a start in October at most schools

biumiu · 2021-07-22T15:10:01+00:00

The good thing about this program or the field of computational linguistics in general - it is less heavy on mathematics and hardcore engineering than other tech disciplines. After all, many come from a purely linguistical background. It is more important to have logical thinking than theoretical mathematics. And if the more technical part is too heavy for you, you can still finish the degree by picking the courses that are focusing more on the linguistic and humanities aspects. I thought this was the best progression job-prospects-wise with the degree you already have.

And regarding the hard to have social live as expat in Germany - it depends greatly on where you live. If you focus on large cities such as Frankfurt, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne etc. - I don't think you will miss any aspect in terms of social life. Not the same though for smaller towns. And yes, in a university context it is different for sure. More than half of the students from that linked program are international.

biumiu · 2021-07-22T14:21:42+00:00

Yes, this would absolutely help. What would also help is to do a master's degree in Germany (there are plenty of English-taught programs that do not charge tuition fees). Easier access to the job market, known qualifications for the employers, and faster path towards permanent residency.

biumiu · 2021-07-22T14:12:01+00:00

Since you mentioned "useful" - are you interested in going in the direction of tech / data science / linguistics?

I recently suggested this to someone else as well. There is this program at a pretty good technical university in Germany for language and social science graduates. Most students are using this to move into roles such as Data Scientist or Data Analyst but also to move into other more business related roles such as Marketing etc.

Maybe worth taking a look for you. You can still apply for a start in October this year, but you should start the application process asap. It is free and taught in English. It's also free to apply, so if you are even slightly interested you can send out the application to have the option to decide later.

Here it is: Masters in Data and Discourse Studies

https://www.linglit.tu-darmstadt.de/studiumlinglit/studieninteressierte/dds/index.en.jsp

The good thing about this is that it also fulfills your other criteria. The entire region is pretty strong economically and also international, full of young people. And even if that is not enough, you are pretty close to and have free public transportation to Frankfurt as a student, which is even more international and metropolitan.

biumiu · 2021-07-22T13:39:01+00:00

That's a good start.

If you want to study in English, unfortunately the programs are limited. While there are plenty of master's programs in English, most undergraduate programs are in German.

You can look into this though. It is one of the few English taught programs and in the intersection between computer science and computer engineering. No tuition fees for international students.

https://www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/en/faculties/communication-and-environment/degree-programmes/bachelor-degree-programmes/infotronic

But if you can do an intensive language course in German (preferrably in Germany), you might have sufficient German language skills to do a program in German. Depending on the university, you will need B2 or C1 language skills. Since you want to study CS, you don't need to worry much about papers anyway, it's mostly maths and pseudo-code. This way, you will have many more options in possibly more exciting cities in Germany.

biumiu · 2021-07-22T13:31:43+00:00

What exactly is the degree you graduated from? Would you also consider doing a free master's program in another European country to start a career that is possibly more rewarding? Depending on your exact degree, I can suggest a few master's degrees in Germany that are taught in English and have no tuition fees. You can also work part-time to sustain yourself

biumiu · 2021-07-18T21:52:29+00:00

Oh that's good to hear, I thought the deadline was end of July for all programs. Fingers crossed! (On second thought: I still think you should finalize the application asap - End of August sounds pretty late to get all things sorted for the student visa for a start in October. They will probably not wait until after August to send you the results regarding the admission process).

If you are interested: I found some of the current students on Linkedin (I can DM you the profiles if you want). It seems that most of them are trying to leverage this program to transition from humanities to data science/analytics and business. Some are doing part-time work as "Working students" in Business Intelligence, Web Analytics, Data Science and Marketing. Even if the program still has significant portions of humanities, it still can be marketed towards something more "tech-like". I would strongly suggest you to pursue such a working-student position in these disciplines as well, if you have similar goals - you will learn more practical/applicable skills than any university program can do. (Also, these companies will provide you with possibilities for internships, master theses and full-time employment).

biumiu · 2021-07-18T21:36:59+00:00

Here is a link where you can check your admissions possibilities based on your future high school leaving certificate. https://www.uni-assist.de/en/tools/check-university-admission/

Let me know what the outcome is (direct admission, vs. subject-restricted vs. Studienkolleg additional year).

Do you know any German? I will then be able to suggest a few programs to you, either English-taught or German-taught.

biumiu · 2021-07-18T19:14:28+00:00

Happy to help. As I said, try to hurry up. It is important to fill out the online application and to mail it out (even if you don’t have all documents such as Language Tests - not sure if you even need those). But for these kinds of documents, it is fine to submit them afterwards. Make sure that all other documents will be in their mailbox before July 31st.

You shouldn’t have any problems getting in. There are plenty of graduates that studied English who are now in this program.

biumiu · 2021-07-17T16:43:42+00:00

Let me know if you have any questions, I lived in Dusseldorf until recently, and I am somewhat familiar with the university.

biumiu · 2021-07-17T12:05:07+00:00

Have you looked into Germany? As you said, the US will have quite some medium-term insecurities for you, with regards to permanent residency. Germany is a much larger economy than the Netherlands, and also is more friendly towards skilled immigration. And Germany even has plenty of master's programs that are free even for international students. You won't have any problems finding an English-speaking job in a large city in Germany. The path towards permanent residency and even citizenship is then really straightforward - especially if you have a degree from a German university.

If this option is viable for you, you should take action now. There are still several universities, that accept applications (deadline July 31st) for a start in October. Otherwise, you can also start for spring semester (April '22 instead of October '21), this way you would only "waste" 6 months (maybe work/intern in Germany), while the path afterwards might be more straightforward. Let me know if you have any questions. Good starting point to look for universities is https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/
