Can I work in Germany as international student?
Bookmark and Share     
As long as they do not work more than 19.5 hours per week, employers are not required to pay social insurance contributions for them, which makes them cheaper than "ordinary workers." The classic student job in Germany is taxi driver - an occupation that quite a few students find themselves pursuing even after they graduate. It's not unusual for taxi passengers to discover their driver has a doctorate in history or modern languages. But it's a student job with a noble tradition - even the former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer was once a student taxi driver.

Hi, The real picture is different, then the above mentioned statement, in Germany most of the student work in McDonald, Restaurants, some Packing Factories, Pizza Shop, In my 6 years stay in Germany i have not seen a single student working as Taxi driver, taking License in Germany is not a easy talk, it cost more then 1000 Euro, and Taxi Drivers License are different then normal one. A student can only work 90Full Days or 180 Half days in a year, if you work with a non-Germany based organization then you may work more, but these people pay very less, i do suggest always work on papers, which gave you benefits in long run. Thank You Asif Bremen Germany

Hello Xiang, Thanks a lot for your useful share. Kindly, I'd like to ask you if the working hours in Germany is finished on 8:30 PM. Because I road that it's very hard to find a part-time job because working hourse are from 8AM to 8:30PM & studies are full-time. So, is that true ???? :)
