Emigrate

Seriously, its what I did. I owe $120,000 when I graduated from UCLA with a major in electrical engineering 4 years ago. I moved to Hong Kong right after and haven't paid a dime. The Chinese gov. ain't interested in dealing with Uncle Sam and so nobody can touch me. Got no interest in going back home so no dice for anyone trying to follow me. Didn't tell them where I was going, as far as they know I got onto a plane to China and vanished. I now work for a consultancy for 80 grand a year as a junior engineer and I have an apartment overlooking Fa Hui Park.

It's a global society dude. Take what you can get and get outta town to greener pastures. I got no interest in lining a bankster's pocket. Shit's cool yo.

In relation to the OP, why not consider just emigrating now, get a free education in germany or someting. Might as well do it now if you will be doing it at some point.

Besides emigrating isn't even that hard, most big businesses, especially in places like hong kong or muskow already use much english, stuff like engineering is mostly done in english anyways.

top nationals are on record stating that global economics will come soon, whether by force or by admission of the world's people. EVERYTHING in politics today leads directly to this, everything is about centralisation, standardisation, and unification of economies.

People like you are an endemic risk to the global business centres of the world. You will be flushed out and forced to pay for your debts.
