Well it depends what kind of skills you have. what kind of studies have you done?
If you learn German you will of course have more chances of finding a job.
I have done a few years general university and have an apprenticeship in small boat engine mechanics. So I don't have so much and I notice everything here needs a Bachelors or Masters unless you want to earn 4-5€ per hour.
Do you think it would be possible in 1 year to learn enough german to goto University?
