feuervogel: Alex on the bridge, deciding a course of action (sad)
So, according to a comment on someone else's f-locked post, the age I'm going to be in 10 years, once we have few or no cats and a smaller principle on our mortgage, that is, 45, is considered "too old" to get a job in Germany, really really.

Fuck my life, fuck me, and fuck that bullshit.

I'm never going to get to move to Berlin if neither Ben (who will ALSO be 45, and a 20-year-experienced software engineer) nor I will be able to get jobs to support ourselves.

I was happy until about 10 minutes ago when I read that comment notification. Now I want to curl up and cry a lot.

Well, for job search I wouldn't just count on the Arbeitsagentur. He should take a look at monster.de, stepstone.de and other online job search sites. Those are usually better bets as a lot of interesting job openings don't even get advertised to the AA.

I'm afraid, I can't help with the pharmacist stuff. Maybe you could try looking for something that ustilizes your education, but is not a pharmacist, because I think you might have to re-take at least some of your courses over here.

Hmm, if you really want to re-qualifiy in Germany, you might be able to transfer parts of your degree. They might recognize some of the courses you've taken, like biochemistry and other purely scientific stuff. It'd depend a lot on how your courses were structured in the states and which school you'd apply to here in Germany. Or they might not recognise it at all but the chance is there.

But you'd definitely have to take all the law stuff and courses that pertain to being a pharmacist and Germany/Europe.
