Thing is, idc about this right now honestly. They don't have any languages to learn besides Spanish, when I want to live in Germany and don't care to know Spanish at all. We don't have any sports teams and that makes me rage like mad. I pretty much just want to go to a regular highschool so, I BEG of you give me some things to say to convince my parents. I'm 15 years old so................  | ||

On a side note of course you dont care about it now. Thats the same for pretty much any kid, but it can make it so much easier later on. For example I wish I had been able to get a 2 year degree right out of hs that would be awesome right now considering the college I want to go to is going to cost something like 20-50k for a 2 year. This is of course assuming you can get a degree in something you would like to do and not just some bs. | ||

Getting a basically free associates degree right out of highschool is huge. Also learning spanish is a huge asset in the USA for a job if you seriously learn it and not just take a class and dont really learn anything. I'm not going to live in the U.S. when I'm older though. | ||

Also if another school teaches german and you are sure you are moving there then that would obviously be a good argument. I don't want anything to do with the arts lol, | ||

I would suggest talking with a school counselor about not knowing what you want to do and what interests you and see if that helps. | ||

Duno it seems like you're pretty deadset to go to germany for no reason at all... a free associative degree is pretty huge no matter what field it is in. Plus it'll probably help you get your bachelor degree faster if your future college accepts your credits. No offense, you're 15 and probably don't know shit (I certainly didn't when I was 15... shit I'm 23 and I still don't know shit) so I'm interested in why you know you're going to move to germany at 18. | ||

The reason I want to move to Germany is because it is close to my home country Bosnia, and I hope to finish my life in Bosnia. I want to be able to go there frequently, but if I live in the U.S. it costs 5,000+$ just to get over there. | ||

While I agree that Germany is a very industrial country (my dad stayed there briefly), what you are trying to do is really far-fetched. Just calm down, stay in school, and wait for a better time to move. | ||

If that's you're only reason you should probably rethink it. Can you even speak the language? You can't speak German yet either so you're decision kind of confuses me. Even with 3 years experience you'd still struggle with the language having spent no time in Germany once you get there. That's not even the biggest problem. No job lined up (of course not you're 15) so how will you live there? You're parents are going to support you? You're dad is a commercial truck driver, he probably brings in decent money but not enough to support your mother, your little brother, and himself plus you in a foreign country. Please for your own well being drop this train of thought. It's all fine and good to dream about moving to those countries but it's honestly stupid to attempt it before you have your degree/education complete and a decent bit of money to support you while you look for a job. You probably won't be on the same hiring level as the natives there anyway. One you may be Bosnian descent but you aren't a national. You'll need papers before you can even start looking for a job. Also take into account you will probably be passed over by employers for in favor of someone with your same qualifications but is actually a native of the country and is familiar with how the society works over there. There's tons of factors that you just aren't thinking about. The only thing that you should worry about is if your Highschool and this Associates degree is accredited so you can get into a decent college and finding a part time job for school, maybe throwing in some clubs and volunteer work to pad your college app and resume for when you get older. If your school is accredited you are way better off than most people your age education wise. You will have an easier time getting a job out of highschool (especially if you have a little work experience) and you will have a jump start on getting a degree (don't get some pharmacy certificate or w/e get an actual degree in pharmacy). | ||
