I major in German at my university and someday aspire to work at a German company like BMW, Adidas, and Bayer. I think working at a German company can give me good work experience. My ultimate goal is being in upper management with a German company, which I believe, helps the economic growth of Korea and Germany. If I am in upper management, any situation could not compare or be better than this. When I imagine working at a German company, I am excited and here are some reasons that I feel I must work at a German company.
First of all, I have studied the German language for 5 years. When I was a high school student, German was my major and my first foreign language (not English). When the other schools' students studied to enter university, I had to study German very hard. If I give up studying German, it will mean I wasted time and I would definitely have regrets.
Next, learning German is worthwhile because nowadays, there are few Korean people who study German . It means I more than likely don't have to compete with that many Korean students who want to work at a German company (on the other hand, German is not popular in Korea.) Everybody knows learning English is very common and there are lots of people who can speak English very well.
Third, I like Germany. Have you ever been to Germany? We can see picturesque landscapes everywhere in Germany. When I was in Germany, I was thinking I was in a fairy tale world; it made me really want to live in Germany.
Fourth, one can earn more working at foreign companies in Korea than working at Korean companies (of course, there are some exceptions). Foreign companies in Korea offer better and more specific benefits to employees. For example, vacations, medical benefits, guarantee of free time, etc. If I am a talented employee, my company will send me to Germany to work.
Last, globalization is becoming more important and will offer lots of opportunities; it will also make the world seem smaller. It may also mean we have to participate in globalizing so, I will do my part and work at a German company; I don't want, as the saying goes, "..to be a frog in the well..".
But I must mull many things beforehand. First, I will have to grapple to get a job. To get a job, I must be good at German. What a stressful brunt! And added to this, there are lots of Korean students who can speak German very well and make it seem ambient, at my university (of course, studying English and Chinese are more competitive in Korea).
In actuality, my German language abilities are in a logjam now. If I don't continue studying German, all that I have learned will retrogress. In saying all this, I hope I will be more adroit to linguistics as I believe I can do what I want.
