Trump has slashed education funding, meaning many US universities are facing hiring freezes and budget constraints. Economist Monika Schnitzer speaks to DW’s Marie Sina about the opportunities for German universities and research institutions to tempt academics and scientists to cross the pond.
I think this is related to Europe as it may try to take advantage of the current situation in the US to its advantage. This one focuses on Germany.
The 8 to 5 years is a good change.
Giving up your other citizenship (if you’re not an EU/EEA country) is a really tough decision to take.
Why is it a tough decision? European passports are very “strong”. They let you travel most of the world with little to no restrictions.
Is that a legitimate question?
You are being asked to give up your nationality which until that point has been your identity and how you interact with the world.
One of the first questions you get asked is “where are you from”, and if you can’t pass for looking and sounding like a German native then the next question is “where are you really from?”.
It sounds quite arrogant and insincere of you to say and hope that this is not a common thought.
Is that a serious response?
You’re assuming everybody thinks the same way as you do and can’t imagine diverse thought. It sounds like you’re quite arrogant, stuck in your ways, and easily offended by a harmless question and taking it as a personal attack.
Maybe you should take a second to consider that not the entire world has given in to US propaganda on identity politics and that people can be any nationality regardless of what they look. It shows your true colours.
Lmao
Travel, but not settle or work. For Americans going back to the US for better salaries is quite realistic. For poorer countries retiring in your country of origin is very attractive.
Good points. I do wish we lived in a world without passports, but alas, we’re still dumb, territorial animals. It might take another thousand years to let go of that.
