Quick explanation

You have the best chance of a well-paid job if you are well educated and trained.

Why is this correct?

In Germany, qualifications such as vocational training, university studies and work experience count most.

Background

Germany has a special training system: dual vocational training, in which you work in a company while attending vocational school. There are also university degrees and further training, for example to become a master craftsman or technician. Well-trained people find work more easily and earn more on average. For immigrants it is worth having foreign qualifications recognised – advice is available, for example, through the portal “Recognition in Germany”.

Why are the other answers wrong?

Religion, gender or party membership must play no role in hiring; discrimination is prohibited by the Basic Law and the General Equal Treatment Act. On average, women still even earn somewhat less than men.

Memory tip

Education and training = better chances.

Legal basis: Art. 3 Basic Law (GG) ↗, Art. 12 Basic Law (GG) ↗
