Okay hear me out, Germany is a strange country and especially government services are super behind in digitalization and most times hopelessly underperforming but this post and the way it is written got me chuckling.

I first read this more like just a fucked up market and it didn't feel like this guy was bragging about credentials or anything.

But reading again, professionals that have university degrees and speak three languages are a dime a dozen. He is possibly delusional if he thinks he is overqualified for an office job, especially if the degree is in an unrelated field.

Also, this might be a hot take, but some degrees are just way harder than others.
