~ Seeing. Not Looking ~

Oh, it's a question I get every day.
Well yeah almost every day.
As well as the statements with the (somehow) purpose to kill all my dreams, make me feel like a nobody and talk me down in every way possible.

Why do you want to leave the country?
What can be better in the UK?
Why can't you work in some office here in germany?
You can surely get a job here too! A better one!
I have family members/friends there! It's not better!
It's hard and complicated and you won't survive and it's expensive and you will be all alone on yourself and yadda yadda yadda....
I heard them all. Really... all.

But:
I don't care (I love it! ~ Sorry for the pun)

I'm not expecting paradise over there when it comes to finding a job and a place to live.
But when I put those two facts aside... it IS paradise to me.
And no, I don't overegg the pudding here.
I love the language, the food, the city of (greater) London itself, the tea, the mentality of the people, the hecticness,the culture... the everything overall....
And yes, I do know it's difficult to find a job and a flat.
But I don't expect a life full of luxury.
I just want to live my average life, earn enough money to have a filled fridge and to buy me things I like now and then.
I don't want a top position from the start.
If I end up in one ... it's okay, if not... then it's okay too.

I'm an Office Clerk, somehow, officially.
So that's what I have to search for here in germany.
But...... no one is interested in the things I am able to do without ever learning them.
I have so many talents where I can't show any kind of evidence... besides the promise that I'm completely honest.
I'm good in things where my grades say "not good" because my teacher hated me.
(And yes.. that's true... I fell from grades like A and B to E and F after that new teacher came along and I highly doubt that I got stupid, after being a straight A and B student for 10 years, within a month.)
I learned so much on my own, have basic skills in things like IT, programming, art knowledge, music knowledge, history knowledge, astronomy and many more.
I am a really fast learner, highly intelligent on a "savantism" basis and even brilliant in some of those areas.
And I'm a genius in everything in the organisation area...

But most of that stuff.... well... as I said... I have no proof and no evidence for.
Of course I could always show my talents to anyone interested.... but until today no one was interested and they all only care for what my grades and my qualifications say on the paper.

Back to topic.
Yes, the UK is for sure not completely different from what I've experienced here.
BUT... the mentality is different indeed.
Not every employer there, but plenty of them, are like "Can do? Good, then do."
My skills and talents matter.
Plus... I'm a native German speaker and am able to speak and write fluent English (and will be perfect and like a native after a few months there for sure).
I learned French as well, but I guess I would have to take some language lessons to be able to speak it again.
Same goes for Latin.
PLUS... my 3 years of apprenticeship are counting as experience and working time!
