I'm German but moved to the USA, but I'm considering to move back. I like the free health care in Germany. And life is just more relaxed. You get 4-6 weeks of paid vacation per year in many companies. And most universities don't have tuition, so you can get a degree for free (only some small fees apply). But I would suggest you study German. Take classes now. It's necessary to speak German if you want to live there permanently.

There are many nice areas in Germany. Rent is usually cheaper in the former east, but there are less jobs. The most jobs are in Bavaria and in bigger cities. If you're a native English speaker, you might find a job as an English teacher.

You have problems with your government --- I have problems with mine.

Take a German language course. You'll not only be preparing yourself language-wise, but you'll learn a lot of culture and history. Also, many high schools have exchange programs with German cities. Mine did and I was able to go to Germany for two weeks (and miss school).

Well I don't like our government as well but only whining around doesn't change anything. You are young. Enroll with dems or reps and contribute something instead of whining around. Whining around didn't make our nation as big as it is today. God save the Queen.

Start watching football (not american football, but the real football) Football is bigger here than any sport in the US is! BTW a great game to start with would be the Euro Cup finals this Sunday!

You dont want to move to Germany. Everything is expensive. Tax is 19%. You will be paying an average of $8.50 for gasoline since the exchange rate is terrible. I hated the U.S. until I moved here. Do I need to mention some of the Germans? Alot of them have no common sense at all. Cant forget about traffic jams over here either, %89 of your time spent on the autobahn, you will be sitting in a huge traffic jam...a.k.a. "Stau"

First of all: Medical treatment is not free!
Who did tell you this? Depending of which health insurance you are in you must pay between 12 to 15 % or so from your monthly salary.
After all the taxes and stuff has gone from your salary you might have only around 50% left or so for living. And from this you must pay all your bills from...
The monthly pay in Germany is bad in case you're not some sort of a manager or such.
Living cost is higher. Petrol goes up to nearly 1,60â‚¬ a litre. Rent for flats are high.
And we don't have enough jobs for ourselves as well.

I don't believe in Germany any longer and if I were younger I'd rather immigrate to a country where my profession really counts. Everything here is a real ripp off.

Read some books about Germany also you can find so much stuff on the Web.

Ich I

The first Article of the german constitution:

The dignity of the human(all) is untouchable.

our whole government is based on this sentence.
as well as our government must be social.

of course not everything is so perfect but you would be very happy to live under the government if you dont like the US government
