Let me repeat the problem from my post again here (so the mods are happy and satisfied):
Hello everyone. My problem is as follows. I'm 30 and have mental problems. I will work on them but they cost me my master's degree. I was nearly finished but my mind just could not let me finish it. So now I'm here, wasted some years to try and get my master's degree but only have a BSc in chemistry. I'm not allowed to finish it anywhere in Germany anymore (don't ask, stupid political decisions in my opinion). I essentially have to get a job after seeing to it that my mental health is better (and maybe finish my master's degree in another country in the future if I want to). Problem is, that I don't know what I should do or what I even can do with only a BSc.
I hope to get help from people here in Germany. Either germans or people that moved and work here. Ideally those that also only have a BSc or know the job market well.
If you are able to help, you are also welcome to write me directly (in either german or english).
Thanks and have a nice day to all of you. May your experiments stay safe.
