Well ,their population is shinking, it's not going to be long before they will want skilled workers. So if you are asked by a German firm to go work there for 20K more than you make now, would you go?
I'd strongly consider it if it was in or around Berlin, but other than that I'm not so sure.
Do they need anything other than engineers?????
Do you have to learn German?
Yes, you also have to get used to believing that the holocaust happened.
What German cities would you consider to be the best generally and what to be the best for someone who would migrate to Germany ? In comparison with Munich how do they fare?

I have only been in Munich and i loved it but i just can't stand cold climates. I would get very homesick.
From what I learned in Switzerland, go to smaller cities with smaller populations. You can get a larger house, more privacy and less annoying Americans.
That's the trend in all of Europe. Instead of Paris, London, Berlin, and Rome. Move to Brussels, Prague, Dublin, and Bern.
And I´m complaining all the time that Germany is too hot for me, so I want to emigrate to a colder climate .
Well, if Germany is too hot then go to freezing hell, also known as Sweden.
I lied . I also been to Cologne but i didn't find it important to mention it. Yet their prices where much cheaper the Homes where quite large and it was a lot quieter so i see where you are coming from. But unfortunately Germany doesn't have two very necessary things. Mediterranean climate and sea. So Germany would be precisely the place i wouldn't want to move to.

Ha, I have made two jokes today, a record.
Not true, we've even chased away the polar bears from the southern parts now so its perfectly habitable.

Hm... Berlin is a bit problematic right now, as it is a region with a relatively high unemployment. The regions most desperate for workers are Bavaria and Baden-Württenberg.
What is needed most at the moment, engineers aside, seem to be engine builders, chemists, information/computer scientists and the metal industry in general.
Cool, if you find any opening for a cocky young electrical engineer in the 70k USD range, give me holler.Depends on where you would want to work. If you work at a big corporation ( Siemens, Bayer, VW and the like ) English is allright. In fact, in some of these corporations, the internal language for emails and correspondance already is English. Although you would be expected to learn at least basic German if you were here for longer periods of time , I guess.
No lawyers or philosophers eh!?
My problem with non-Berlin Germany is that I have it on good authority that the rest of Germany (especially outside the big cities) is culturally stuck somewhere around 1994.
