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
