I tried. Even got a degree in German Language & Literature. Took additional language courses through the Goethe Institute in DE, etc.

Though I've spent the last twenty years as a software developer (which is classified as an Engpassberuf), I was told that the regulations would only allow me to seek work based on the skills from that degree (Berufsqualifikation).

"We already know how to speak German."

Had my university call me up about a year after I had graduated. I was unemployed and had not been able to find a job post-graduation. I explained to the person that unfortunately I do not have an income at this time and was still living at home with my parents and trying to find a job. Their response: "Well do you have a credit card? You could use that to donate and worry about paying it off later."

I read this Wired article a couple months ago that though long does do a really good job of covering the company, its culture, and the issues with trying to run a factory in the U.S. : https://www.wired.com/story/i-saw-the-face-of-god-in-a-tsmc-factory/
