Cologne and/or other German Natives...Jobs in Cologne?
Hello there! I am going to try to make a list and chart of the costs of living in a small apartment in Cologne, Germany, with a dog and also attending college. Do you think I could afford 800 euro a month with any of the following jobs? I know that the cost of the apartment will vary with the landlord. But please give me a ballpark (estimate) of how much I would make working these jobs: 1. Working as a cashier at a local supermarket 2. Working at a gas station 3. Tutoring English maybe once or twice a week.- is $25 a lesson enough to charge, also considering I will be a student in college? 4. Cleaning houses Any other job suggestions would be so appreciated! Please keep in mind I have to attend college. I do not know how long that will be each day. I am considering going to get a major in nursing and a minor in teaching. I also have to provide for my boxer, and I need an apartment with a backyard. Also, any websites with apartments for rent in Cologne would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time! Thank you for your answers. I am a U.S. citizen. I appreciate your answers, thanks again.

You should have added you citizenship. Unless you are an EU citizen you will need to apply for a visa ( Student or work ) if you apply for a student visa be aware you will have to prove sufficient funds and language skills and you will be allowed to work part time only ( that means you will not be able to live on the job ) Also in case you are no EU citizen and intend to come to Germany for work be aware for the kind of jobs you intend to do it is close to impossible to get a visa. Every employer who is hiring you would need to prove there was no German or other EU citizen who could do the job or wanted it. To be a teacher in Germany requires you to have a degree as teacher and at public schools ( more than 90 % of schools ) to be either a German citizen or a long term resident ( 8 years +) since teachers at public schools are civil servants. To work freelance would be an alternative but be aware oh high and very complicated tax system. Most freelancers have to hire a professional ( Steuerberater) to file their taxes. Sorry to sound a bit disappointing and good luck anyway

First of all be aware unless you are EU citizen you will need a work visa and for the kind of jobs you suggest it is impossible to get that . If you are an EU citizen ( UK ? ) just check out the website of Arbeitsagentur a part is even available in English That is the official site every job which is offered has to be announced on there. In case you work as a freelance tutor be aware you need to pay taxes !!!

topic for my Service Writing Project
topic for my Service Writing Project?
Alright, so I have an essay/project coming up and it's a "service writing project". Here is some information my teacher wrote about it: "Your sixth writing assignment is to find a creative way to serve someone with your writing abilities. Some ideas might be to write a letter to a missionary, a story to share at a children’s hospital or nursing home, or a recipe to share with a neighbor." Some other info: "The topic is open. You may write using any format that will truly be a blessing to someone else. Be creative. Writing a letter to a relative is off limits. It needs to be something that you would not normally do." Just to avoid confusion, it's OK if I write to someone who's not going to write back or someone who has passed. I obviously don't want you to do this for me; I just want a little help getting the ideas flowing. Some examples my teacher has attached are things like a letter to a man who created a curriculum for home-schoolers, or a man who escaped the nazis in Germany (kind of like Corrie Ten Boom). I have ideas already, which consist of a letter to...founders of the Boys and Girls club of America; Peter Benenson, the lawyer who founded Amnesty International; Susan B. Anthony, regarding women's rights; and Edgar J. Helms, founder of Goodwill Industries. If you could give me maybe one or two ideas so I have a larger group to pick from, that would be great. If not, do you think the ideas I already have go along with the instructions and will get me a good grade? Thank you!

Writing a letter to anyone can be good enough in itself. Giving people hope in themselves, others and humanity are always good. You should try to stay away from cliches such as writing to people who have already achieved great things in their lives. You can catch your teacher off guard by choosing a close family member who you have never gotten close to, your neighbor, someone who recently lost their job, or even a person in your school that no one talks to. Choose average people around you, even a complete stranger would work. You don't need much to make a difference in the world. Just show someone you care. Also, you can always write to someone serving in the military.
