Your opinion: Is TEUR 370 financing feasible?

That would be grossly negligent. What happens if you inherit nothing? The house might be worth nothing anymore, have construction defects. Or the current owner has to sell to pay for their care. Better not to count on that. If one were to inherit something, a use will surely be found for it. Financing the studies/training of 4 children will not be fun :)

Hello Der Da,

... financing the studies/training for 4 children will not be fun :)

Even with one child it gets massively expensive, especially when a long course of study like biology is chosen. And then we’re not even talking about a doctorate yet ... :eek:

Or worse, German studies :) But I will make sure to prevent that... fortunately, our families are not fond of foreign languages :) All engineers and computer scientists wearing checkered shirts. :)

But during the PhD you are well paid *prrrruuuuuuusssst* Especially in the natural sciences.

The fun starts much earlier though. I mean before the kid even goes to kindergarten. We pay almost 700 € monthly to the daycare provider so that my wife can continue her PhD with a half-time position (part of that is reimbursed by the youth welfare office, but how much exactly, no idea)

Lackeys are the poor pigs ...

I hope your wife is not doing her PhD at the university - then you will hardly see each other anymore, because she is a cheap workhorse :mad:

Rhenish greetings

But university (KIT), and since last year not even an elite university anymore.... yuck... it's about time she gets out of there and does something proper :)

you have to say, she lucked out pretty well. Only a few industry projects, and a boss who practically doesn't want to know anything. The money is okay for now, since she had a 100% position. But what is really awful: her employment contract was limited to 3 months each time for almost 3 years. What is forbidden in industry apparently works perfectly fine in the public service. Although she knew it would be extended, there was no guarantee.

Anyone who treats their young talent like that from the start shouldn't complain about a "skilled labor shortage." Although that is more of a product of imagination anyway. There are enough willing people, they just don't want to pay them.

I would advise the OP to let his children follow the same path and do the administrative specialist training: as prospective civil servants, they get good money right away :D
