Oh thank you very much! 😊 That's so interesting, how you do it in the US, thanks for the information! 65 hours sound a lot. I think I drove like 20-30 hours before the exam 😅 glad that she was able to convert it so easily in Germany.

haha, it is probably true but I don't really have much to do with Bürgeramt as I did with KVR ;) so quite happy about it so far :D

Thank you very much and welcome to my channel! 😊 Yes, I will do, new videos are in the making :) I want to keep it as a secret where I am from at the beginning and I will reveal it later on. Where do you think I am from? ;)

@@Hannah_Ozz Well you're welcome. I like your videos so far and i hope they are many more to come. I can try and guess but what if i get it correct , how would you let me know that its correct and also keep it a secret?😅

@@exelrode haha, that's true😅I am not gonna tell, if your guess is right but I am collecting the comments for the reveal video 😉

oh thank you! 😊 yes, exactly, rules 😍 hahah

Haha wanna guess? 😄

ummm may be 34😬

Hahah no way! Do I look that old lol 😂 I am much younger but thanks 🙈😅

Thank you ❤️ glad that it helps 😊🙏

It depends on what you are looking for. As I went to a TU, I think it is better in terms of research, learning more in depth about certain things and educational offerings. But if you want more time with professors, doing practical things etc applied science uni would be a more suitable option for you. Getting hired is never for sure to be honest but getting a masters degree and learning the language in the country would surely increase your chances ;) Any of the TU9 in Germany would be a good fit but you can also search for specific topics, like industry preferance, offerings in the curriculum, expenses in the city etc but I am obviously biased for TUM :D I'd say so yes, eventhough I am not doing things that are directly related to mechanical engineering any more, there are a lot of job opportunities for engineers in Germany in general. Hope this helps! :)

@@Hannah_Ozz thanks dear

haha, im Sommer schon :) frag mich aber nicht das Gleiche im Winter 😄😂

The things is we will never ready for big changes, they just happen then we learn how to adapt. But I hear your point, I think the world doesn't even have the space for it 😅

Oh wow, I didn't really think about the heartbreaks 😅🙈 but they usually go away after a while 😉 I totally agree with the environment aspect, we would really need to do something about the way we live on earth. That's the most important thing

Herzlichen Dank, Johanna! ❤️🙏 Hahhah schimpfen auf hohem Niveau, das wäre für mich wahrscheinlich auf Bayrisch schimpfen 😄😂 Vielen lieben Dank für Deinen netten Kommentar! Your kindness made my day! 🤗 Liebe Grüße!

Thank you very much! All the best to you as well 😊🙏 Yes, see you there, it will be my first European ellection, I am excited for it!

sounds like a good idea, thank you! I am adding this to my list ☺I just need to find a fun and inspiring way to do it 😉

@@Hannah_Ozz Thank you very much. I am going to study a master’s degree at TUM, so your biography, career path and studying tips would inspire me.

Hahah thanks for the tip! A big influencer also suggested the same actually 😅 I might do it in the future 🤔

@@Hannah_Ozz Your videos are worth being seen by more people. Friendly and helpful. That's exactly what TH-cam needs! :)

Thank you very much! :)

I want to keep it a secret for a while 😉

she is also eligible to run for any office except for head of state. this restriction is not by birthplace, but minimum age. :D

no way before that, like my second year in Germany ahaha. I organize my shopping card before the register now 😂 I think that must be a part of the integration test 😂😂

@@Hannah_Ozz probably a good Idea😂

I was lucky that it was fast. It took 7 months

@@Hannah_Ozz whaaaa, mine took 2 and a half months

I want to keep it as a secret for a while. Where do you think I am from? I am just curious 😀

I work in consulting now, mostly around IT / software related topics for industrial companies. I am not using a large portion of things I've learned as mechanical engineer e.g. mechanics, thermodynamics, material science etc, but the problem solving skills, methods and concepts and coding I've learned as an engineer 😉

Yes, that depends on the country. It wasn't possible in Germany for my country when I got the citizenship but they are changing that law starting from next month 😉

I paid it a few days before picking up the certificate at the end. But I've heard from friends that they are paying it at the beginning with the application start now. I also think that it may depend on your city. :)

Thank you for reaching out! It's normal to feel confused, take your time to research and make the right decision for you. It is mostly a personal choice in my opinion. If I were to study again, I'd pick CS just because based on my experience in the job market so far. But you are going to be the one who is going to do it for a long time, so it is important that you'd enjoy / find the subject interesting to begin with.

You're welcome and thank you 😊 I hope that everything goes well with your process as well! 😊🙏

The new law will be in effect starting for this year which will make it possible to get the German citizenship within 3 or 5 years depending on the conditions of the applicant. It was 6 or 8 years before that law. People with "besondere Integrationsleistungen" (special integration qualifications) can get it in 3 years. These qualifications would rougly include good language skills, voluntary activities or very good perfomance at school or work. They do not have a specific definition for that.

@@Hannah_Ozz okay thanks

No, it depends on the country you are from. And there is a change in the law starting from June 24, dual citizenship will be possible for more countries. :)

Yes, it is currently in the making. I was just gathering some ideas around different videos, I might do some street interviews with students in the future. But videos are coming soon in the next weeks ( I just need to push through the downs of quitting caffeine in the next days 😅)

very cool! I respect the caffeine quitting and trying new things! I really want to know though because I have attended college here in the states and I know European schools may not be as party heavy as we are. But it’s slightly overblown because a lot of schools aren’t as party heavy or you have to be in a clique. In fact a lot of students end up going to the bars and stuff and that’s the partying not just house, frat or dorm parties. I want to see the difference and commonalities. Also want to live in Germany in coming years so always interested in learning more

I kinda want to keep it as a secret at the beginning 😉 I might reveal it later

@@Hannah_Ozzaweee! But I want to know I am curious. One reason I want to move to Europe soon is I am big on culture and knowing people and meeting people. My friend group here in the states is like super diverse. Friends with probably people from over 20 countries. Like actually good friends.

But I will wait lol

Yes, there is a change in the law, which will be in effect in the next months. I will be possible to get the citizenship in 3 or 5 years depending on your qualification. I can do a detailed video about it in the future ;)

I don’t think the layoffs are connected to the rise of AI. I think that AI still has a long way to go until it can fully replace a software engineer. It might be helpful for accomplishing simple coding tasks or some small refactoring, but when some complexity is introduced AI might not deliver the best solution, or apply the best practices. About taking Mechanical Engineering, In my humble opinion, it’s more about what you like more and ready to take. If you are really into that stuff it would probably be the right decision. Also it’s one step away from CS and you can always study ML so you won’t be replaceable. Getting different opinions and doing some research will surely help you decide. Good luck.

@@garikhk that was helpful thank you so much

I also don't think that the layoffs are connected with the AI. In my opinion, they are mostly related to overhiring due to Covid and not enough expansions in the businesses due to recession. AI can code but it takes an experienced software engineer to get the right prompts, understand the differences in the code and do the necessary debugging. I think that studying a subject is a personal decision you should make based on what you want in your future. If you are interested in machine parts go for it, you would like the studies. I know a lot of friends from mechanical engineering doing similar things to what we have studied and they enjoy their job. I also know a lot of mechanical engineers who work in tech. I am also glad that I studied mechanical engineering because I have an understanding of different engineering subjects in general. I just wouldn't do it again because my work is mostly around software related topics and sometimes I really wish that I focused more on the software side. Even in the automobile / robotics / energy industry, while there are a few people making the actualy hardware design, there are a lot more people working on the software components. At the end of the day, you could do similar things with both studies. It really depends on what you find interesting to begin with. As long as you enjoy what you do and get good at it, you would find great opportunities 😉 I wish you all the best with your decision and good luck! :)
