To be honest that is true for many/most of the (American) immigrants on YT. They show an attitude that I wish many of our locals would share. Looking critically but not condemning, very much differing from what some American politicians act like.

Actually, it's true. As an american living in Rheinland-Pfalz for close to 40 years, I have to agree that Baden Württemberg is a very attractive place to live and work. It is the richest Bundesland of the country aaaaand.... it has the most sun hours per day!

[@mikebag120]

Another slogan of BW is: "We can do everything, except standard German" (Wir können alles, ausser Hochdeutsch). Don't be afraid :-) Learning Badisch, Alemannic or Swabian dialect (depending on the region) is just another possibility to get in touch with the locals (e.g. in the pub. They (we :-)) love to explain our dialect).

Soon... soon. My first choice would be to move to Ireland, but it's so expensive to go to school and live there, so I'm already planning on getting a master's degree in Germany once I finish with the bachelor's degree I'm starting in a few months. I had the chance to visit southern Germany back in 2007 and it was gorgeous. Heidelberg and the black forest were definitely the biggest highlights of my trip there. If I can't make it to Ireland after my schooling is finished, I would also be very happy to live in Baden-Württemberg. Everything was so beautiful and clean, and there was only one person who got frustrated with me while I was there and that was because I had to ask her to repeat how much the food I was buying cost. For some reason my brain just would not comprehend was being spoken to me and a friend had to jump in and help me out to complete that particular purchase.

[@PEdulis]

As other pointed out already, any German state welcomes people who want to work here. There are differences in regional dialects, in the attitude of people (and in my experience, those in Baden-Württemberg are not the most welcoming to put it politely), in job opportunities, in pay but also in cost of living. So it is difficult to say where someone should apply. I would suggest to look for a job in the profession you want to work in and then see in which parts of Germany you could get a job offer, compare the offers, compare the cost of living in those areas as well and best of all visit the areas before making a decision. See if you get along with the locals, if you like the landscape, if you can get what you are looking for close to your work like a school, a doctor, ... and then make up your mind.

[@baramuth71]

I know that Germany is looking for and needs many skilled workers. The visa and possibly naturalization procedure is simplified by a lot. There are over 100000 positions that can or must be filled in the IT sector, in the craft sector, in the health sector and many other positions more.

[@karlwiklund2108]

For me, the immigration process was very easy. I got the job offer while living in Canada, and easily qualified for a Blue Card. After that, it was just a matter of making some quick appointments, first at the consulate, and then at the Ausländerbehörde. The actual physical move and initial expenses were the hard parts.

[@indrinita]

@@karlwiklund2108 for me the immigration process was very arbitrary and very much dependent on whoever you happened to get as a case worker at the Ausländerbehörde. I say this as a Canadian who moved to Germany as well. It sounds like you got lucky or they happened to have the right people in the office to be able to process your particular visa. In my case, I literally had to print out parts of German residency law and bring these references with me to make sure that workers at Ausländerbehörde didn't screw me over (either on purpose or inadvertently out of ignorance). It was far from an easy process for me, as well as so many others I know.

[@utgorg8705]

@Hayley Alexis I know that the education system in America is a bit different than in Europe and especially in Germany. In America, many jobs are ultimately apprenticeships. You may have studied, but you work something completely different. That's why it's hard for many Americans to move to Germany. The procedures for recognizing education are, like everything else in Germany, very bureaucratic. Nevertheless, there has never been such a great need for willing workers in almost every field. Even if you took a normal physically hard job in America after high school without the nice things like health insurance and paid vacation and sick time, emigrating to Germany might be worth your while. You just have to be willing to learn the language and secure your job from the States. Currently, there are offers at the major airport locations in Germany, such as Frankfurt or Munich. Especially in the area of the tarmac (loading and unloading of aircraft, baggage handling, etc.) There are job ads on the websites of the airports. Finding a place to live could be a problem, but if you are willing to improve yourself little by little, there is certainly a lot you can do. You don't have to be an engineer to have a chance in Germany. If you are not afraid of work and learning, you are in the right place, no matter where you come from or what your skin color or religion is.

[@tobyk.4911]

"you don't have to be an engineer" - well said. There are many open jobs in many different fields. Some of the job profile for which there is a high demand for new employees in Germany are for example bus drivers, train drivers, plumbers, other branches of construction/ maintaining, teachers ... and especially nurses and doctors. Currently Germany apparently doesn't have enough pediatricians, pediatric nurses and PICU nurses.

[@VieraXXII]

That is nice to hear. But as an American Linguist I guess I don't have a chance. I only speak English and Spanish. I couldn't do any sort of therapy or translation there. But I love Germany, and refuse to move back to Spain.

[@Mrbrbusby]

On the front page of CNN today there is a story of what they call a “multi racial” family which includes the dad in the family who is an Iraq vet. They used to live in Tennessee until a string of local racists burnt their house down. The local cops have done nothing; Lisa Ling is trying to get the FBI involved. In the EU, the people who do these things would be criminally charged. Sometimes you do things because there is no other choice. It was hard for Anne Frank’s mom to learn Dutch, it’s hard for my elderly mother to learn Danish. But we’re not living in this 🇺🇸 regime anymore.

[@indrinita]

I'm glad that more and more Germans are starting to be more open-minded about skilled and qualified workers coming to the country. When I came here almost a decade ago, the attitudes of most Germans I met was deplorable. I was living in a godforsaken small town where the AfD was gaining ground and had election signs hung up all over the place with phrases like "Kinder statt Inder" and stuff like that. Needless to say, after I got my master's (in a scientific field), I haven't had much trouble finding gainful employment in Germany. But I was seriously doubtful at first about whether I should stay or not after the experiences I had in my first couple years studying in Germany, especially as a Canadian of colour.

[@Sophie-lf9zn]

Why is this so funny to me 😂 I‘m from BW and yes, the Schwabenländle really is the perfect environment for you if you are qualified in engineering or really for anything in the tech industry. It‘s not my field of study but I‘ve heard great things.

For foreigners learning German Baden Württemberg and Bayern are the most difficult states in Germany. Swabian/Baden and Bavarian accent are even for Germans hard to understand. In 1994 I had an exchange student from Sao Paulo, Brasil (with good German language-knowledge). His father already knew the accent in South Germany and wanted him to go to us in Lower Saxony (because there is no accent. The people speak a very clear German and it is easier to understand for a foreigner).

[@RobBCactive]

Mostly it's elderly Germans who speak the dialect, I visited a couple of years ago to Baden-Wurttemberg and Bayern this Summer. As I learnt my German in Bern, this fear of local accent is hilarious, 3 decades ago areas spoke very differently. The fact is Germany suppressed dialects and encourage a standard prestige accent for career reasons. On the other hand, when I hear Swiss-German they've retained the dialects and it can take some time to tune in. There's a funny song by a German who lived in Canton Bern Bärndütsch - Götz Widmann that gives a good taste of it

I would recommend going to the Ruhrgebiet in Nordrhine Westfalia. Opposed to common opinion, it is very green (Essen is one of the greenest cities in Germany) and it's pulsing with life. You have so much going on here (cultural events, museums, sport events, the list goes on), the public transportation network is amazing and especially for foreigners that are not fully fluent in German yet: the people in the Ruhrgebiet are very used to that, because of the mining businesses a few decades back. They had a lot of guest workers. In my opinion it is the most welcome and open place in Germany, maybe aside from Berlin. Because of the high population it has also a lot of job opportunities. There are a lot of companies and if you live in the Ruhrgebiet, commuting time usually never exceeds 30 minutes. Also driving 40 minutes and passing through 4 main cities is amazing 😂

Another topic that is very rarely discussed (in vlogs like this) apart from the fairly well-known social benefits such as health insurance, unemployment and disability aspects. When you work (and contribute to your mandatory social welfare charges for a minimum period of five years), then you are entitled to receive pension benefits once you have become eligible. These social welfare charges depend on your income and/or special exemptions ("Auszeiten" for child-rearing their children). These social benefits include health insurance benefits once you retire. Retirement ages are undergoing some drastic changes in Germany.

I moved to Stuttgart as a Fachkraft and lasted 14 months before I moved back to Vienna. I didn't like it there unfortunately. Although I had nice colleagues, it is too decentralised and people don't hang out after work. The work is in whatever *ingen place, e.g. Schwieberdingen, people live in other small places around the city because of wanting to be close to work, public transport is bad when it comes to ring connections especially, so everyone needs a car. Of course there were really nice places there, like Ludwigsburg for example, but it just didn't work out for me. Stuttgart and its surrounding areas just had this sad atmosphere about it. Granted, my comparison is Vienna which is on the other hand very centralised and has exceptional public transport, and is also really pretty - although the locals are actually less welcoming than the locals in Stuttgart. I hope others have a much nicer experience than me in BaWü!

[@V100-e5q]

I still maintain that these videos are tuned to a German mentality. No wonder you enjoy it. It shows how much you have adapted. And proves my point: No foreigner will get the humor. As in: you need a Hayley to explain the vid. Well, I live at the opposite end of Germany. Near the Watt! What Watt?, you may ask. Yeah, Watt. We have thousands of kilos of Watt. And a lot of wind. So much that Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg long for our energy. But they didn't want to build the powerlines. Nor have they built the wind turbines to make some "Strom on their own". So should we put out a campaign to foreigners with the suggestion to come here instead and build a business based on the windfalls of a free horizon and many clouds? Come to the Watt! Wo die Möve schreit und der Wattwurm beißt, Liegt ein Land das Schleswig-Holstein heißt. Wo der Wind stark weht und die See rauh geht, Ist das Land wo grüner Strom entsteht. Sei es durch Wind oder die Sonn', Da haben alle was davon.

(They exist) The younger you are, the less problems there will be. It is important to understand that racist, fascist and other bigots mostly are not "normal" but mostly hate Germany (as it exists) and Germans (for really not being that far right and mostly tolerant).

India definitely needs them, but so does everyone else. Well educated Indians, just like well educated everyone else, go to the places that offer them the best working conditions and salaries. If they can't find it in India, they go other places. And Germany's education systems are highly unequal, and usually inequitable education systems are definitely not among the best education systems in the world. Good education systems tend to be equitable to all students, regardless of what background the students have, or where they start from, and Germany's education systems absolutely don't reflect this.

OMG Hailey!! Baden-Würgenberg(just a little playing with words) is one of the most horrible states in Germany, if you really want to go to Germany. The dialects are some of the most disgusting (I know it, I grew up there)… ah well, Saxonia or Thuringia do their part in this as well … and btw.: NO! Bavaria doesn't even come close to it, but people seem to be way more composed, when it comes up with people from the *Outside World*. At least, when you're not going to the Oberpfalz🤣 Okay, it always depends on wether you choose a urban, rural or something in the middle of those, though rural I would never advise to go. Not jobwise or culturally for beginners. But I personally know of some people, who got along with rural German life in a Bavarian village in Unterfranken and were still practicing their islamic believe in their workplace and in the evenings drinking some beers in the local Dorfkneipe. And noone gives a fuck (no *effing* here) about it. Uff! And I'm only just at 1m37sec of that video 🤓 And, of course the *The LÄND* video is making fun of and abt itself, but Germany is the second oldest country in the world just behind Japan. We urgently need lots of immigration, about 400k per year in all work fields, and not only in engineering, but also care jobs or craft trades, since the demands are way higher, than the work force can offer. That is, why it's absolutely ridiculous, that right wing parties like e.g. #FCK*_Afd_* (CDU/CSU included in this) are acting so blindly and hopelessly populist in that matter. And it's clear, that we can't just steal those people from their own countries - they need their people as well. In the long run… euh maybe the next 10 to 20 yrs, but better now!… we should just let them come and educate those doming here by ourself. The sad or rather cynical irony is, that this country (my fucking homeland Germany… sorry, but I'm just getting angry about it) is actually deporting people from this country even when they've lived here for many years or even decades, have jobs , the kids went through school and were already in higher education at a University or a professional education , for let's say becoming a nurse or an electrician, a baker or a barber, but they still get deported and are having no chance in our system. The parents, having lived here for most of their life, the children who've never ever lived anywhere else than in this country, get deported to the country of their parents' origin and they don't even speak the language there. They feel German and basically are German. They are still being deported. That's a scandal! And, believe me I've got a lot to do with those cases in my work. It's just insane and I'm desperate on a regular basis, when confronted with it. They're not just *cases*, but individual human beings. Sorry, I've just got to stop here now. Germany is an old country urgently in the need of fresh and eager people, but Germany is not the country to go, because this country is in many ways stupid and so extremely conservative, that it destroys itself because of it. Sounds weird, doesn't it?! But it's true.

I definitely agree with almost everything you said... One thing I wanted to ask for clarification: do you mean that Bavaria in general is a bad place to go if you're going anywhere outside of the Oberpfalz region? Or that they're ok in Bavaria aside from Oberpfalz because they're supposed to be the worst (i.e. most closed-minded) there? I got a bit confused at that part. I currently work in the Oberpfalz (though will be switching to a project that takes place mainly just south of Nuremberg next year). I have personally found the people to be quite friendly and open there. Well, at least in Bayreuth.

With this Energy crisis, it makes more Sense to leave Germany
