CAREER IDEAS
Diplomat
Often referred to as “das Land der Dichter und Denker” – the land of poets and thinkers – Germany has made lasting contributions to Western culture. Philosophers such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche, composers such as Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, and writers and filmmakers including Bertolt Brecht, Günter Grass, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and many others are deeply influential figures. In contemporary times Germany has emerged as a political and economic leader within the European Union – its stable economy is the envy of many. Fluency in German can be a distinct asset for students seeking jobs in the global business, banking, diplomatic, and humanitarian sectors.
