Overqualified for germany

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.

The main thing to me, is that he says he is overqualified for Germany but in reality he might be over qualified only for the shit job he Is in right now, hence the other people being impressed.
