@Surreal: I know it is just one option and it surely is the most risky one, but there is a saying in russian that roughly translates into "Those who don't risk, don't drink champagne" (I hope you understand what is being meant).

I think when I'm 60, I want to look back and see that I've never hold back and enjoyed my life to the fullest (oh I did yesterday night for example.. that was the biggest party in my life ever and we bombed away this house lol まあこれが別の話だな). I want to try out as many things as possible as long as they don't necessarily affect my health in a seriously dangerous way. I want to explore myself and I want, this is kind of my personal wish, to fall in love with many many people.

@IceCream: Thanks for posting! Anything that is medicine related as you stated above does not even require the Abitur (the highest qualification, i.e. A levels) -- and it's not a "study" in Germany. Payment is really bad and the job as a nurse for example is really hard. That's ultimately not the job I want to do. I want to become a doctor and take responsibility for my patients. I checked the time tables of medical students and exactly what is being taught is what I want to learn really.

The German filter system for medicine/psychology/pharmacy is very tricky. Either you have 1.0 and you get in, or you have waited for 5-6 years to get a place. The only option that is left really is, becoming a paramedic for example first and getting credit for that.. Becoming a paramedic takes 3 years here, btw, which is not a long time, considered I'm still 19

Too bad you have to wait for such a long time to enroll into university, very stupid rules if you ask me.

This topic made me want to research a bit more because I wanted to study in Germany next year as well, mostly for the tuition-free education that they have, but now I have to reconsider this. I found an article about studying medicine in Germany http://www.mawista.com/en/study-in-germa...n-germany/ but was wondering if there is any university that offers something more recent, like say a major in internet marketing or online entrepreneurship? And I have heard that the government offers a lot of scholarships for international students, is this true?

Btw, I'm 19 too!

I know of a person who had to wait about 4 years. He spend the time becoming a nurse (super for already getting some needed knowledge), worked for about a year and entered university after that.

If your are set on becoming a doctor (and going abroad isn't an option). Just wait those years. Do what ever you can in the mean time to learn as much as you can so you'll be able to shorten your university time later on.
