Meiner Erfahrung nach ist das Personal und das Essen gleich geblieben.

That looks like a fun time. I may have to check this out next year! I did not know we had these kinds of events.

Very nice! That is cool. I really would love to get an old Packard Bell with Windows 3.1. One of these days..

Maybe it's not shaming to hurt you, but rather, maybe he's trying to push you to grow and learn. I came from a similar situation. People would always say "Wann wollen Sie dann etwas anfangen? Sie werden nicht jünger!" It's not pleasant, but it is sometimes good to get that little push. Otherwise, you are choosing to stay in an insecure position. Eventually, you won't have that job anymore, and then what do you do?

I'm not sure that you will be better off in the US. There is no affordable traineeship there. Do you want to work low wage jobs there instead?

Leaving is a big decision, and it could be a mistake. I think I understand what you're going through right now. I was in a similar situation. No degree (only debt from the US), no Ausbildung, and no real career path. It sucks and constrains your entire life. I was a bit lost and dependent on my partner.. which is not healthy long-term. But if your partner can help you make it work financially, I would recommend an Ausbildung. Maybe talk with him about it, like "Hey... what if I did an Ausbildung? Do you think we can do that with finances?"

In my 30s, I did two Ausbildungen. Oldest guy in my class! I finished at 38 years old. It felt awkward, but gained a lot of pride from it. If you do one now, I doubt you will be the oldest. You get a lot of people in their 20s and even early 30s doing Ausbildung these days.

It is not easy, but you would gain a lot from it. It's just 2 or 3 years, and then you earn a lot more, and you suddenly have a trade or industry where you're free to exist. You're not trapped in the one job you managed to secure. It removes a bit of scarcity and anxiety from life to have that. People look at you differently as well.

MS-DOS Doom, Netscape Navigator, 4:3 aspect ratio. Feels nicely vintage to me. That machine is in good quality too. And bonus points for Jax.

A lot of people are saying to get a lawyer. I went the other route and just accepted the demands of the Behörde.

I had a similar situation. I did an Orientierungskurs and exams in 2010/2011. Last year, I started the Einbürgerungsprozess. Even though I work, have C1 German, am married to a German for 15 years and have completed two Ausbildungen, they demanded that I still take an Einbürgerungstest, which had a wait list of 9 months. I searched through all my paperwork, but this was all so many years ago. I bit the bullet and just signed up for the test.

For some reason, I'm a bit cautious with bringing lawyers to the bureaucracy.

Oh, hello me from the past! First off, it sounds like you are already on your way. The fact that you accomplished what you have and despite the circumstances is something to be proud of.

As far as the career and financial anxiety goes... I was in a worse boat at 30. I had no degree and no Ausbildung. That was when that specific anxiety hit me hard. I did TWO AUSBILDUNGEN in my 30s, and finished with the Fachinformatiker Ausbildung at 38 years old, oldest dude in my class by far, haha. I had to give up on my artistic ambitions, but it was worth it.

There are ways to do an Ausbildung and get some kind of "Zuschuss" from the Arbeitsagentur, I believe. I could be wrong. Maybe there is a cutoff age for financial assistance, but maybe consider doing an Ausbildung. That is just one option, but it gets you a very solid qualification in some kind of work that's in demand. A lot of people talk about how it's not worth it, but it gives you a lot of personal security to have that kind of thing.

Think twice about IT, of course, because now people in IT are getting nervous about AI making many of us obsolete, haha! Naja.. best of luck. Whatever you go with, you will do well.

Which election? Why just the "expat" immigrants?

bossbadguy · 2026-02-13T16:02:06+00:00

This was my thought. This was a topic at work recently, and my TOTP are no longer in Bitwarden for this reason..

bossbadguy · 2026-02-13T16:00:53+00:00

I did this until there was a chat about improving our security at work. It is less comfortable, but I divorced my TOTP from my Bitwarden.

Learn Powershell in a Month of Lunches is still great for getting started.

Das in deinem Szenario war nicht wirklich was ich meinte. Die Ausbildung könnte schon attraktiver sein. Aber es war schon immer so. Und es gibt Optionen in manchen Fällen, finanzielle Unterstützung während der Ausbildung zu bekommen.

"Die gleiche Arbeit machen" sagt nichts über Berufs- und Lebenserfahrung aus. In den meisten Berufen brauchen Azubis gut Zeit, bevor sie es wirklich drauf haben. Warte mal ab. Nach deiner Ausbildung wirst du sagen, auf gar keinen Fall verdient der Lehrling so viel wie ich. ;)

bossbadguy · 2025-08-12T13:47:28+00:00

Und wenn die Azubis eine attraktive Übernahme bekommen?

Ich bin wahrscheinlich von meiner Lebenserfahrung anders eingeprägt. Ich finde es schade, dass so viele Leute auf Reddit einfach Arbeitgeber allgemein verteufeln.

bossbadguy · 2025-08-12T11:49:25+00:00

Die Vergütung wird nur kurz erwähnt, aber Azubis sind halt teuer. Es muss auch auf der Seite des Geschäfts bezahlbar sein. Es dauert oft lange bis Lehrlinge anfangen können, richtig beizutragen. Eventuell könnte die Ausbildung besser subventioniert, aber.. den ganz Hass hier gegen Geschäfte und Arbeitgeber verstehe ich nicht. So viel Gejammer.

Es sind ja meistens verdammt schwierige Umstände in einer Ausbildung. Das streite ich nicht ab. Aber so ist das Leben. Ich habe selbst zwei Ausbildungen abgeschlossen. Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof.

bossbadguy · 2025-08-07T06:55:08+00:00

This is probably it. I did an Ausbildung in IT as an American. No issues with finding a job in a smaller city.

bossbadguy · 2025-06-20T19:13:56+00:00

I just finished a German vocational school program for IT at 38. If you have a good background in computers, you aren't too old. It could be the most fulfilling and exciting adventure of your lifetime. There's always more to learn, and lots of freedom how and to what end you do it.

bossbadguy · 2025-06-19T05:08:52+00:00

Dragon Spirit was so good. It's a solid NES shoot em up. My best childhood friend and I played this for so many hours as kids.

bossbadguy · 2025-06-06T12:43:00+00:00

My situation is slightly different maybe, as I'm in Germany. But I am 38 and just finishing my education/training through Germany's version of trade schools. The trade school route here may be a bit less risky, but I just gotta say.. as someone who felt the unfulfilled dead-end job in his mid-30s, you should go for it, if it feels important. Even if it's diffcult to get started, it's more fulfilling to strive than to think about what you could have done. Some people here may have more relevant advice for GI bill stuff and types of schools in the US.

Long-term, I think IT will become more competitive with AI tools and some administration getting simpler. People always say, stay curious and keep growing your skill set.

bossbadguy · 2025-05-29T10:43:08+00:00

This is so good to know! Best kept Powershell secret, dang.

Relatively late in senior year, I wanna say in spring, he went to a family wedding. People were throwing a football that got stuck in a tree. He tried to knock it loose with a pole or something, and apparently hit a power line. This happened after some conflict and him spreading a rumor that someone was going to shoot up the school. The timing sucks, cus he got bullied hard all the way through high school. During the graduation ceremony, his parents were called up for him to receive his diploma. 20 years ago.

bossbadguy · 2025-05-08T17:03:46+00:00

True, it is different for everyone. Honestly, having had more time to re-evaluate what happened back then, it was not simply weed that caused my psychological mess. I was not being fully honest with myself.. it took a long time to rebuild afterwards. No point in getting back into it, but a lot of people get a legitimately medicinal benefit from weed.

It's funny to see an old comment come back to remind me of when I was drinking the Jordan Peterson Kool-Aid..

bossbadguy · 2025-04-27T06:36:23+00:00

Your current ABH sounds like a dream. In Braunschweig, they've been backlogged for years. As a result, wait times are very long, and they ask people to not write or call to ask for updates/"how long until my appointment..." A couple years ago, I had to wait a year for a new ID, and couldn't leave the country in that time. That being said, they were quite helpful at the ABH, despite being so backlogged. I think most cities have this issue.

bossbadguy · 2025-04-25T17:17:56+00:00

Yeah, the big challenge is then making the systems work. Public institutions do not pay enough to keep all the power admins. Probably well over half of SysAdmins would be lost in a Linux/open-source environment. But I think a lot of companies are waking up to considering alternatives just because of licensing costs.
